Server has no persistent storage

I installed ESXi 3.5 for testing purposes and once I downloaded and ran the VMware Infrastructure Client, I get the message, "VMware ESX server has no persistent storage." As this is the first time I saw, and still less used VMware, I'm confused on what I should do next. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

For Windows 2003 and 2008, it is not necessary, because the drivers for the virtual SCSI controller by default are already included on installation CD/DVD.

    I installed VMware ESXi 3.5 installable on a server with an Adaptec RAID 3405 controller. The build number of ESXi is 123629. I've got 4 1 TB drives configured in a RAID 5 array for a total to 2.73. When I install VMware, he sees the RAID array with the right size and installs successfully. However after I reboot and connect with the VI Client I get the message on the server not having is not a persistent storage and no data warehouses are displayed. If I go to storage adapters it shows Adaptec SCSI like vmhba2 with 2.73 TB capacity. However when I add storage and select disk/LUN it shows only 2.73 TB but only 744 GB of available capacity. I've never met this before. How to access the full capacity? I thought maybe it was because I was still on the trial but license using the serial number of the license made no difference. Also after he did the first time I've recreated the RAID array and started with a new installation of VMware. Both times he sees only 744 GB available.

    Maximum supported = 2 TB LUN size, then you need to separate your RAID in 2 volumes, less than 2 TB each

  • Help: The ESXi host has no persistent storage

    We have an ESXI 5.0 installed on our Dell server and we have some virtual machines running. suddenly, we had a mistake on Vsphere client.

    "EXSI host has no persistent storage.

    To run the virtual machine, create at least a data store for the maintenance of the machines virtual and other system files. »

    to resolve this problem, so we tried.

    On Vsphere client (connected to the ESXI)-> configuration-> storage-> rescan all... once the re-scanner has been done.

    We are able to see the file was mounted on the data store and it is lost in a minute. so it isn't permanently mounted to the data store to access the virtual machine.

    Once we do the re-scan once again, we saw that the file has been fitted to the data store and lost again.

    assemble and disassemble is to continue to switch.

    We need a solution to fix the problem, or in the worst case we need a way to recover the Esxi machine (VMS) data.

    Kindly share the reflections.

    It should be a disk error, it is local storage that tempt you and the virtual machine files are stored in the local disk

    don't forget to check the logs on the bit/ucs, regardless of the remote management tool, you use...

    Please check the log files and vobd.log vmkernel

  • ESXi host has no persistent storage / fsUUID is null

    Hello

    The issue I'm having involves a HP N40L Microserver w / local storage on a HP SmartArray P410 controller.  6 hard drives configured in a RAID10 array and the multitude of ESXi what OS runs on local USB.

    A recent issue w / the matrix raid caused a crash of the VMS resident and now "host ESXi has no persistent storage" message.

    I solved the problems of disk HARD w / table (replaced a disk), and the table is presented in the peripheral topic under "HP Serial Attached SCSIDisk.  ID is naa.600508b1001c8d82bf5f4a33f0e2bc04

    However, the data store does not appear in the tab of data warehouses.  I refreshed and restarted several times w / no success.

    This data store was run on an installation 5.1 ESXi (ISO custom HP) for a few years without problem.

    To try to solve the problem, I installed ESXi 6.0 U1 on a new USB stick which fortunately is now running in the Microserver but presenting the same behavior for the data store.

  • When to use a persistent storage?

    Hi all

    I have created applications that use the persistent storage, and I created applications that use a SQLite database.  I also have applications that use both.  My question is this:

    Persistent storage should be limited to what it stores?  For example, should persistent storage serve more for purposes of storage of simple things like "font size selected user for the application" and "a hash of default language table and its code of language of the application"?  Alternatively, could also be recommended to act almost like a database, for example when a user does not have an SD card installed - in which case store you several vectors of objects and others?

    Is there a possibility of persistent storage is only not available due to limited space?  For example, if the user has a large number of other applications that use the persistent storage?

    Finally, I believe that persistent storage is only erased in the event of a battery pull, etc..  Is it also possible to delete in other ways, like a reboot?

    Thank you!

    I look at the characteristics of the data I store and the characteristics of the options (SQLite, folder on card SD or PeristentStore) and make a decision on this basis.

    The highlights for me are

    (a) the size of the data

    (b) requirement of presence

    (c) the use of the data

    (d) deletion of data

    Working through these:

    (a) size

    There is a reasonable amount of available devices, as well as more than PeristentStore.  If you have a vector of strings of 10,000, each 100 bytes long, it's always only! MB of storage.  And there are managers of low storage that you can listen to and store your use of the PersistentStore.  But there is more space on an SD card, and no chance to shake the Blackberry is that you use up too much memory (if you use PersistentStore the unit clears things like the old emails that can disrupt your users).

    (b) requirement of

    Don't forget that your users can remove the SD card and all data

    (c) the use of the data

    If the data lends itself to using an object of mode, it seems an appropriate way to store it in this form, which means that there is no "Serialization" required to make it a flat file or the conversion into a table.  But things like images, audio files and gain no advantage being stored as object.  So stick them on the SD card.

    (d) remove

    PersistentStore is deleted when the application is removed, which can be a good thing.

    In summary, there is no right answer here, use the best option for the job you have.

    With regard to your questions:

    "Is there a possibility of persistent storage is only not available due to limited space?

    Yesish, as mentioned, it is the low Storage Manager.  But to be honest, you can store megabytes of data in a table like structure in PersistentStore, and as long as you're careful, it will work fine.

    "I think that persistent storage is only erased in the event of a battery pull.

    No, it remains on a battery pull.  To clear, regular forms are to wipe the device, or remove the application that uses it.

    }

    public String getElement (String key) {}
    Logger.out ("PersistentStoreInfo", "getElement:" + key);
    Return (String) mElements.get (key);
    }

    ' Public Sub setElement (String key, String value) {}

    PersistentStoreContents ch = PersistentStoreContents.getInstance ();
    UserData = us new UserData("gmail.com","1111","aaaa");
    ps.setElement2 ("[email protected]", US);

    But it is not inserting data in the persistent store. App is struck to the persistent store setContent method... any idea on this?

    the object you put in the store has implemented persistable, not your utility class.

  • Persistent storage problem

    Hi all

    I use a persistent storage to store my data.

    Question: Persistent data are automatically get updated while recovery of persistence data and store it in a variable local object and then modify this local variable, observe that the persistent data are also changed without saving my new changes.

    I'm storage array of user defined class in persistent for example myclass [];

    I used to store vector which has been also get updated so I have changes to my class, I'm storage table because I store the list of objects of 'MyClass '. By changing the vector in [myclass] problem has been solved, but now I'm getting same result once again.

    I create a listener in the background that will read persistent data and send only data used to my application in the foreground, but when I do some changes in my local object again once it finds that the data gets reflected in persistent.

    Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I created a library of my persistent classes so that the foreground and background the two application could access.

    Looks like my storage

    Class Myclass implements persistable

    {

    certain types of data from premitive

    MyClass2 [] arrayOfSecondClass;

    }

    class Myclass2 implements persistable

    {

    certain types of data from premitive

    Myclass3 [] arrayOfThirdClass;

    }

    class Myclass3 implements {persistable

    Some data from premitive

    }

  • Workaround for storing persistent objects I have persistent storage?

    I am storing configuration of sorts data in the persistent storage XML definitions and other data of type string.

    These data are read from a server when the application is installed and can also be requested by the user.

    It is stored in a hash table for the simple extraction and hash tables are saved in persistent storage, works well.

    Except for storing images that come in the format of png og files are not persistables. Who discovered the way lasts :-)

    Is there a way around this problem? All this data is delivered in a zip file from the server and everything is unpacked on the SD card. So is it possible to "turn" or "wrap" these png files so they can be stored in a persistent storage? Save them on the SD card are ok for temporary storage, but for 'permanent' storage, I like to keep in a persistent storage.

    arrays of bytes must be persistent.
    You can use http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.1.0api/net/rim/device/api/system/EncodedImage.html#getDa... to get bytes from an image, and you have already mentioned how to get it back.

    store in sqllite work similar.

  • Use a persistent storage or other methods to synchronize

    I have a user interface class that communicates with a background class by sending commands with world events to the base class. Two of them also uses a persistent storage.

    A simple method to retrieve return values could be to use a persistent as this storage:

    The user interface does:

    1 clears the back entrance in a persistent storage

    2 send the world event.

    3. going in a loop with a Thread.sleep and check if the back entrance is always empty

    After a number of loops decides that no response will be provided.

    The background task does:

    1 housing starts by accessing persistent storage in order to block with synchronization

    2 performs at the request of action

    3 put the result in the return of persistent storage field

    4 out of sync

    It sorts of handset return results and waiting for results. If the background task is not there the user interface will break out of the loop with a blank back. The only uncontrolled situation would be if the background task fails

    along the way, but then I have other problems. I threw an eye to wait/notify, semaphores and others, but the easiest solution is to use a persistent storage, because it has been used in any case for return information.

    Or expertise in this forum suggest another approach?

    A single Thread.yield is very good indeed, but if you put the user interface in a loop, just treatment Thread.yield () and the test for completion, instead of blocking your Thread event you will be hogging your event Thread and the operating system can get mad that too.

    As to notify the Ui that a message has been processed, Yes, the Observer Interface to do this.

  • Error in persistent storage when the application update that happened.

    I've been struggling with the problem for a long time.

    MY application uses a persistent storage to store parameter information.

    But when I update my application from version 1 to version 2, number of items in my configuration page has been changed, which means the new version of the page layout will load and save some new stuff in a persistent storage that did not exist in the old persistent storage.

    Problem occurs when custorms update their request. How can we drag all the old stored information when users start to use the updated application?

    I see these three options:

    (a) the best thing to do is to delete the old application, which will get rid of the old persistent data.

    (b) create a 'version2' of you persisted object with a different name.  In your treatment of startup, you see if there is a version 1 object, and if so, migrate the setting of the object Version in 1 to your new object.

    (c) try to your compatible changes.  There are different ways to do this.  A way that is easy to understand is to persist a string, which is your options encode in XML format.  If you use an XML string, then you can add a new attribute to your new options - but the persistent object remains the same.

    I hope this helps.

  • 2 Server ESXI and 1 storage

    Hello

    I have ESXi Server (HP) 2 and 1 storage (promise VTrackE610F). Is it possible to put the two server on a single storage and a partition? ESXi should be used on storage.

    Do I have to follow some important and necessary steps? Does anyone have experience in it?

    Hello

    As has already been said the best to do is install ESX in the internal disks of each server and then sharing a logic unit between the 2 servers number, just formats the data store in a server and do a new analysis on the other node.
