• Renaming of data center, Cluster and Datastore in Evo's default object names

  Hello

  The data center, Cluster and vSAN Datastore objects in my Evo device newly installed all default to the label of 'MARVIN-... ». Is it safe to rename the appropriate labels to my environment, such as a location for my data center object? I suspect that it is not serious because the underlying UID will not change, but am looking for confirmation of a person who did successfully in a laboratory or production environment and who also managed to apply the patches of Evo subsequently.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it is safe to rename these object types - Evo uses values of managed reference numbers (moref) object for the object of theses types - so that they are safe rename...

• Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is back different physical storage

  Hello

  I am new to vCenter Server, so you can assume that I'm missing something obvious.

  I installed vCenter Server 5.5 and one of the two hosts of re-usable ESXi 5.0.0 connected correctly. When I try to connect to the second 5.0.0 ESXi host, I get the error message:

  Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is supported by different physical storage

  I Googled it and found what I think are the best answers that are successful, but they all seem pretty unique in their situation (they have a cluster, I do not have) etc. Some solutions involve disconnecting the store of data and reconstruction of things. I would not make things worse and can live without doubt with the help of vSphere client (and not the web client) until maybe I can start again with a 5.5 installation to a new host once I have back up everything from the host unconnectable. I closed all the VM on the host of the second. I have put in maintenance mode. I've renamed the data store, all to nothing does not.

  Thanks in advance

  The problem is that a whole army could not be connected to vCenter due to the problem, the solution involving disconnection of the host apply.

  Here is how I solved the problem:

  1 use the client vSphere client heavy, connect you to the host that cannot not be connected to vCenter Server.

  2. click on the host computer, and then click the Configuration tab.

  3. click on "storage".

  4. find the offending on the right data store.

  5. right click on the data store incriminated and click 'remove '.

  6. click on 'Add storage' in the top right.

  7. follow the steps to find this data not mounted store. I gave him a new name just to be sure, even if it's probably not necessary.

• Getting the data center of VirtualMachine with Get-View information

  Hello

  Y at - it a faster way to get the name of data using Get-View and the viewtype VirtualMachine Center.

  I found the following:

  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -filter @{ "name" = "mtl1fsit02" } | Select-Object -Property Name, 
  @{ Label = "GuestOSName"; Expression = { $_.summary.guest.guestfullname } }, 
  @{ Label = "Datacenter"; Expression = { (Get-view (Get-View (Get-view $_.parent).parent).Parent).name } }
  

  Thank you guys

  I think that the property calculated for the data center does not work in all situations.

  It assumes that your virtual machines are 3 levels down from the data center, which is not always the case.

  I personally use a loop, passing up through the parents, until he finds an object data center.

  something like that

  @{N = 'Center'; E = {}

  $parentObj = get-view $_. Parent

  While ($parentObj - isnot [VMware.Vim.Datacenter]({))

  $parentObj = get-view $parentObj.Parent

  }

  $parentObj.Name

  }

• Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

  Hello

  What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

  Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

  I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

  Any help or assistance?

  Thank you

  B

  BOOM!

  Added some comments, removed the hardcoded in the csv temp file, deleted path the hardcoded port 25 for SMTP - mail settings should come from the configuration of the MAIL plug-in. And fixed / confirmed that the workflow now includes the attachment for e-mail and ends with success!

• Total amount of storage in the data center

  I'm trying to get a script that will give me the whole total amount of space used in a data center. I want to launch against the center of data from virtual centres. There is a total of approximately 1900 of virtual machines and virtual machine is distributed among several LUNS. I need to get the overall figure for a migration.

  PS: I want to get the numbers in GB instead of megabytes and I also want it spits out a report in .csv on my local machine (c:\scripts\xxxx.csv)

  
  

  
  

  Thank you guys.

  I'm afraid that it won't work by changing just the data center-Get Get-cluster.

  The reason is the cmdlet Get-data store later in the script, on the location setting it only accepts the data center objects, folder and DatastoreCluster.

  But with a little small change, we can get it to work for clusters as well.

  Get-Cluster | Select Name,@{N="Storage Used (GB)";E={  $sum = Get-Datastore -RelatedObject (Get-VMHost -Location $_) |   where {$_.ExtensionData.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -and $_.Type -eq "VMFS"} |  Measure-Object -Property CapacityGB,FreeSpaceGB -Sum  [Math]::Round($sum[0].Sum - $sum[1].Sum,2)}} |Export-Csv c:\scrpits\xxxxx.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

• How to get the data center moref moref VM in c# using

  Hi all

  Could someone tell how to get managedobjectreference of data center using the VM moref? or any other easy way is? If anyone has examples of code in c# please share with me?

  Thank you

  Vijaya

  You can get the data center in which the virtual machine resides by the following search:

  VM Moref-> Parent (vmFolder)

  Moref folder VM-> Parent (data center)

  Parent of the virtual computer object will always be the vmFolder and the vmFolder object will always be a data center.

• of MSHS - cannot rename the data files

  I have a MSHS (encryoted MSH) - 5 last lines in this script - I have a command shell that renames the data files. for example
  
  Shell ren f:\data\abc_morning.txt abc_20100912_morning.txt
  Shell ren d:\data\def_afternoon.txt abc_20100912_afternoon.txt
  Shell ren t:\data\abc_evening.txt abc_20100912_evening.txt
  
  These commands work fine in the MSH script, but get the "File not found" error in file MSHS. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
  
  MSHS command also asked how to rename the data files as Shell REN does not work?

  It's really simple:

  MSH scriptname.msh

  That's all.

  Kind regards

• Evolution of the data center: N7k or C6500

  Hello

  I am curretnly studying how our data centers evolve.

  For physical physical architecture:

  -We have 2 data centers, L2 interconnected at 10 Gbps.

  -On each data center, 2 x C6500 serve basic and distribution at the same time.

  -The access layer is to C3750G, connected to the chassis base with 3x1Gbps etherchannels.

  -No server rack blade for the moment.

  For the logical aspect:

  -L2: we use STP lying on the 2 DC

  -L3: Core are connected directly to the MPLS cloud. We use the VRF.

  The next evolution of the server would be to replace the stand-alone servers by blade, connected with 10 Gbps.

  I was hesitant on how to improve the current design, and I'm not sure the + and - 2 (except that Nexus need investment)

  (1) keep the C6500 and:

  -Add maps to 10 Gbps on the C6500 (16-port cards)

  -use VSS on the two site to simplify the design STP (even though we have had no problems with it so far)

  (2) replace C6500 by Nexus7K for greater flexibility with 10 Gbps

  (3) as an option, add a distribution layer N5K which would simplify the wiring and allow a possible evolution FCoE (in this solution, I would keep C6500 as base or evolve N7k).

  What do you think?

  Thank you

  P.

  This is going to be a very controversial topic.

  Let's not talk about budget here because it could become very dark.

  The 6500 Sup720 or Sup2T (I still prefer the latter), is very good when you aggregate a significant amount of some 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps and a handful of 40 Gbit/s.

  The Nexus family is very good when you want to consider a few 100 Gbit/s, but a significant amount of 10 Gbps.  NEXUS is also the way to go if you want to connect your Fibre Channel switch DC as Nexus will support 1, 2, 4 - and 8 Gbps FC.

  Nexus 7 K can support 100 Gbps (two per card online), 40 Gbps (six per card online) and of course 10 Gbit/s (up to 48 by card online).

  Very quickly, the will be some service modules that will be introduced for the Nexus 7 K.  They are WAAS, ASA and a NAM.

  There will be life with the 6500?  In some cases, Yes.  It is still is not clear if ALL the 6500 service modules will evolve into the Nexus.  In my view, the three modules, I have just mentioned is to "test" the waters.  Once the momentum has been achieved, the others could follow.

  There are rumours abound that there could be a possibility of Nexus 2 K which will support the PoE.

• Shortcut to achieve VCDX virtualization in the data center.

  Friends,

  I would like to know to achieve VCDX can choose path below to avoid to submit the design VCDX defense.

  VCP5-VTC > VCAP5DCA > VCAP-CID > VCDX - data center virtualization.

  Who currently hold VCP5-VTC & VCP Cloud. VCAP5DCA inprogress... hope it will pass soon

  Any information will be greatly appreciated.

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  Knockaert

  Yes - actually if you want the VCDX Cloud you have to earn the VCAP-CIA and certification VCAP-CID before sit you for the VCDX defense according to the chart here - (VCDX-cloud) VMware Certified Design Expert-cloud.

  The other option is to pursue and get VCDX-VTC and when you pass the VCAP-CID cert, you will get the Cloud VCDX certification.

• Info from data store based on the location of the data center

  Hello

  I wrote a powershell script to get the amount of free space available in the stores of data butthis is too high

  I need the information broken down according to the opinion of the 'data warehouses' with the virtual Center

  EG - my eyes record data centre as

  Teir 1

  X-x-x-x-x-x-x data warehouses

  Teir 2

  X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x data warehouses

  Teir 3

  X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x data warehouses

  Can someone please

  Altogether.  The problem has to do with the Canal works and references that you are trying to use the output the way.  There are several ways to handle this, and I think that it can do what you want.

• After you rename the data file, cannot start database

  Oracle 11 g 2
  OEL 5 (ASM)
  Network infrastructure (cluster install) - no CARS yet
  
  Something interesting happened. Perhaps this question might be more suited to the "ASM" section, but that's.
  
  I gave a data in ASM file an alias with the following command (the ASM instance):
  

  SQL> alter diskgroup DATA add alias '+DATA/oradb/datafile/users01.dbf' for '+DATA/oradb/datafile/users.253.795630487';
  
  Diskgroup altered.

  Then, as mentioned in Note: 564993.1, we need to update the database as well with the new alias. However, when I went to the stopping and starting of the database, I received the following:
  

  SQL> shutdown immediate;
  Database closed.
  Database dismounted.
  ORACLE instance shut down.
  SQL> startup mount;
  ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

  It's strange. Nothing has changed except the alias being added to the data file. This is all before operation. That's happened?
  
  I think that it may have to do with the different ASMOPER, ASMADMIN, ASMDBA groups that have been installed as part of the installation of the grid Infrastructure. In addition, the listener is running out of the GI home.
  
  All my variables environment (e.g. ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, etc.) are defined.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello
  When you connect with tnsnames alias while the database is down the listner did not know the service, so you must start the database on the server database with sqlplus / as sysdba. After starting the registry of data base with the listener and your connection works again.
  Alternativ you can add a service to your listener.ora to connect with him while he is arrested, as long as you do not have it you must use local connect which means sqlplus / as sysdba.

• Mixed Hyperthreading servers in the data center

  Nice day

  I was wondering if there was a negative impact on having an environment ESX 3.5 with servers that allowed of HT and servers who are not capable of HT. If there are problems with this, no one knows what they are. VMotion and smotion still work? It will have an impact on DRS? etc etc...

  Thanks for the posting of this message

  As long as processors are compatible for vMotion ther could be no problucm running servers with HT active or not in the same cluster - but like another user said that it is advisable to have HT enabled if it is available-
