Sort free space data warehouses in a cluster

• Fully connecting directly attached data warehouses in a cluster of ESXi?

  I have deployed two identical 5.1 ESXi hosts (servers Dell PowerEdge r720xd) each to 5,46 with storage to direct connection. They are both currently enrolled in our vCenter Server 5.1 and participate in a HA cluster. Their respective databases are also members of a group of data store.

  Each host is connected to its own data store, but not the other host data store. This effectively disables most of the HA/DTS features, and connection status of host for each data store is marked with a warning for missing connections. We have desire of VM migration and load balancing between the two hosts and the warehouses of data to be as homogeneous and transparent as possible.

  My question is simple: what is the most practical and effective way to establish the necessary connections to reach a State fully connected to hosts and data warehouses?

  Hello

  in this case you need something like a virtual appliance that uses your local storage to make it a shared storage. Your hosts can then access the storage via iSCSI/NFS. At the end of the day, you will have the space of a single node left (CT ~ 5.46), because the device (s) will reflect your data for more security against failure of the host.

  The easiest way would probably be the vSphere Storage Appliance

  But there are also other solutions as a virtual of DataCore and HP StoreVirtual VSA facility.

• 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?

• Get cluster data warehouses in VC

  Hi all

  I've been trying to write a code that lists all data warehouses in use by each cluster but little progress with it (I know that data warehouses are not a property of the bunch and I need to interogate each vmhost cluster for the info to store data but imreally+ bad)... Ideally I am looking for a similar to the following output in a CSV file:

  CLUSTER NAME DATASTORE NAME NO OF VMS CLUSTER DATASTORE DATASTORE USED SPACE FREE SPACE DATA STORE CAPACITY

  clustertest1 new 88 150 GB 100 GB 50 GB data store

  clustertest1 another datastore 88 70 GB 10 gb 60 gb

  Has anyone known this before - or even something similar?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

• Cannot filter Cluster using PowerCLI data warehouses

  Hi, I am trying to retrieve information from a data store and I need the cluster, the data store is associated. I have to, reason or another, can't use the clusters in the searchroot as parameter:

  $cluster = get-Cluster-name "mycluster.

  Notice-EEG - ViewType Datastore SearchRoot - $cluster.id

  It does not return anything for me, where as if I replace the module in a data center, I get all data from the data center storage, even if I need the cluster as well. So I found another way to get the cluster through the host by using this code snippet that I whipped:

  $vmhosts = $datastore. Host

  $cluster = get-view-id (Get-View-Id $vmhosts [0].) Key | Select - Parent property). Parent | Select - the property name

  Write-Host $cluster. Name

  .. .or $datastore is a view of the data store. This gives me the name of the cluster, although the script works very slow and takes a long time to run. Our environment contains several thousand data storage so you can see why the time of execution of the script is a big concern for me. Here's the complete function to give the context of my question.

• Low free space on the data store.

  Hi ladies and gentlemen

  I have 3 connected to my server from Vsphere data warehouses, data warehouses are a Terrabyte each but only have about 65 concerts on the free space on each of them.

  How this small space affect my ability to take pictures? Take a snapshot potentially cause data warehouses to run out of space?

  Thank you very much for all the tips...

  Concerning

  Clint.

  Dear Sir.

  Snapshot response potentially cause data store run area is YES.

  The explanation is dependent on the setting of the snapshot, configured manually, automatically configured (by any agent backup) or?

  Sorry, I'm not explain in detail here.

• Disk space reduced after deleting and creating SATA data warehouses

  I was experimenting with measurement feature multiple with a host ESXi 5.0 (build 515841), which has two 2 TB SATA drives connected to the motherboard SATA controller. For the test, the first hard drive was installed with a VMFS5 data store and the second disc was added as an additional measure. The ability to store data went up 3.62 to as expected (individual drives show up 1.81 TB in VMware). After the test, I deleted the data store to configure the drives as of separate data warehouses. The second disc correctly displays a 1.81 TB of available space, but the first drive shows only a maximum of 256 GB of available space. The structure of the disc shown before creating the data store on the first hard disk shows 1.81 TB of free space. Additional free space can be recovered without having to reinstall ESXi? Thank you.

  I didn't not experiment a lot with VMFS-5 me yet, but I have had a few discussions with other users. What they say, you can be able to increate the VMFS partition of size (in stages) by using partedUtil, and then run vmkfstools to cultivate the datatore. See for example Re: cannot increase the capacity of VMFS 5.54 data store

  With your layout of the partition, it would be s.th. as these two commands:

  partedUtil resize "/vmfs/devices/disks/vml.01000000002020202020204d4e313232304633304d41553544486974616368" 3 10229760 3907029167

• Free space in the data store is lower we shouldn't

  Hello

  I'm under VMware ESXi on HP Proliant DL380 G5 server - the data store has a global capacity of 678 GB, with now 34 GB free. I have 5 VMs running:

  reader1/lecteur2

  (1) Win2k3: 50 / 100

  (3) Win2k3: 50 / 50

  (1) Windows XP: 10

  Oh - and the two models, one for the server (50) and a XP (10)

  Yesterday, I created a couple of clones of the XP, 1 with Vmkfstools - i and the other with vConverter - especially for the practice, but they are only 10 GB. Before my creations, free space read about 115 GB - then she got at the moment, I noticed 34GB. I deleted the two new virtual machines thinking I came home back from space, but no dice. Math is not my best subject, but this does not seem to add up. Do something wrong, I missed something?

  Is it possible to reclaim that space? Before I thought to check with you guys, it dawned on me that I could stop all VMs and restart the host, but if there is another way, I want to know it.

  Linda

  Browse the data store - go to the "Home" view - inventory - data warehouses, click a data store, and then select Browse.

  Look in the subdirectory for each virtual computer and determine that seem abnormal large size files and total size of all files that exceed the size of the virtual disks assigned to the virtual machine.  If you specify then what are the names of the files a plan for how to get rid of them.

• How much free space should I leave on a DATA partition?

  I can find discussions about why we should give adequate free space on a Windows 7 OS partition, but I can't find anything about the question to know if performance suffers if a partition used strictly for the * data * is too full.  For example, Windows 7 has a requirement to free space for Defrag to work properly?  If so, what is it?  I know that for XP defrag wouldn't even run with less than 15% free space in partition, but I don't see anything on such a restriction in 7.  And are there other aspects?  Thank you.  (Wasn't sure to put this question in "Performance and Maintenance" or "files and folders," so I chose the first.)

  AFAIK, the hard disk Windows fault detection mechanism, where the CHKDSK command is a part (the big cannon), which allows to cope with errors in small scale more or less on the fly. If the problem worsens, CHKDSK is called, and Windows stops and restarts to give a best shot at fixing the issue without distractions of CHKDSK.

  If you're lucky, CHKDSK will report the broken clusters as death, moving away from the dead zone data, and Windows will continue as usual. If the disk is full to the top, none of the foregoing can or will happen, there is no room for errors of any kind.

  So, let us free space on the disk... A data reader may not get the rigorous use that gets the C drive, but it's always a dynamic environment where files are read and re-writings on demand.

  Some bad clusters on a disk is no big deal, and the player works pretty well. The trouble begins seriously when the grapes begin to fail on a regular basis, and you will get WARNING that because Windows will appear to hang during playback of files. If you ignore this warning, CHKDSK will be finally called whenever the computer is started.

  So, no, you do not rush out and buy a new hard drive, all simply because a few bad clusters have been detected.

  Large free space reduces the loss of data? Just as much as Windows has a fairly reliable place to re - write files that had been a real struggle read less of good grapes. In this way, it also buys you time to do regular backups until you can plan to replace the drive

  Even if the 15% limit has been removed from the Defragmenter, you must always leave at least 15% free especially if you store large file sizes, but it is only a recommendation, not a hard and fast rule. Personally, I think it was a mistake to remove the limit that it just encourages computer users to fill the readers to the absolute ability to believe that everything will be fine.

• Data ESXI free space consumption permanently store

  Dear,

  Please I need help, our ESXI 5.5 database have a total of 2 TB of space and have 2 virtual machine, virtual computers have 'Thick lazy provisioned to zero' hard drives

  but before we have 471 GB of free space, but since last week, our space free datastore continually dwindling I don't know why, after all you said 3minutes datastore is reduced by a few megabytes

  Please any help is greatly appreciated :-),.

  Definitely Yes. Snapshot files increases over time, according to the changed data in the virtual disk. They can grow up to the size of their basic disks provisioned.

• Analytics data drive free space is less than 15% &gt; Vcops begin the deletion of data

  Hello

  I'm new to vCOps, please bear with me.

  We have vCOps running in a configuration of test for about half a year now. Recently, he has been given these administrative alerts on the virtual analytical computer:

  «Storage disk (/ data) of free space is less than 15%.» vCenter Operations Manager will start the deletion of data to recover disk space. To avoid the automatic deletion of the data, add an additional drive.

  I was looking into that, but I can't understand what data are removed or how vCOps chooses to delete data.
  For example, VM Analytics metric history goes back only 3 weeks, some metric hosts history goes back to early August. Another metric story hosts return early September.

  So I guess that vCOps has been clear data to recover disk space, but...

  Is there a logic on what data are removed?

  Is there a documentation on that?

  We have 110 guests and about 1250 VM. What is the recommended size of the unit of storage/data?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will be cleaning older data of historical metrology.

  But if your installation is that fresh, more likely of allocated disk space is less than the recommended size.
