Space in the store of data not released when a virtual machine is removed

• Remove objects from the AD when a virtual machine is removed from the vCenter with vCO

  All,

  I am new to vCenter Orchestrator and have bad getting started with him.  I'm trying to figure out how to automatically remove the Active Directory from the computer object when it is deleted in vCenter.  My idea is when the virtual machine is removed, it starts a workflow that deletes the object.  I don't know how to call that or if it is still possible.

  The problem I am trying to solve, is that our developers are self provisioning of servers Windows and Linux through vCAC in the realm of 50 + per day.  They also remove most of them in 5 or 6 days causing much left on objects cluttering up AD.   So I try to find a way to have the deleted object when they destroy their vCAC provisioned machines.  My original idea was to make based on the GUID and UUID but I not figure out how to actually call with vRO.  I'm open to other ideas that can adapt to this task better, no need to force this idea of the solution to the problem if someone already knows a way to do that.

  Little background information is that I'm under vCenter 5.5 Update 2, 6.1 and vCO 5.5.2 vCAC.  The objects being deleted are Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 R2 and CentOS 6.5 servers.

  Thank you in advance, I think that once I get more of an idea on how it works, I'll be able to deploy more ideas.

  This can be achieved by simply adding following some custom properties in your Machine Blueprint or group of companies in VCAC.

  Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.UserName-

  Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.Password-

  Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.Execute

  Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.Delete

  Otherwise, create a profile to build using above set of custom properties, this way it will be easy for you to add in several plans in your environment vCAC.

• Not enough space on the store of data error

  I just created a new virtual machine and the data store has 1 GB free, but when I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get the error ' not enough space on the data error store '.

  What is the minimum data required to power the virtual computer space? I thought that 1 GB is a lot of space...

  That is also correct long as you do not have a defined reserve, because don't forget the size of the by vm vmkernel swap file is equal to the memory assigned to the virtual machine minus the reserve memory.

• 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?

• issue of configuration for the store of data/LUN iSCSI

  Hi all!  I am all new to VMWare and iSCSI, and I have a question about data warehouses regarding being mounted on an iSCSI target.

  Here's my setup.  I have a Dell PowerEdge R810 connected over a link to 10 GB dedicated to a Dell PowerEdge 2950 that I use as a SAN.  The R810 has no hard drives in it, it starts ESXi on a redundant configuration of SD card integrated into the server.  My SAN software is Server 2008 Enterprise with Microsoft iSCSI software Target 3.3 installed.  I created target 1, LUN 0, 800 GB .vhd file sitting on a NTFS partition and set up a store of data on it in VCenter.  The data store is the size of the entire iSCSI, 800 GB target.  I have my first virtual server up and get 50GB of space between the data store.

  Here is my question: can I create several virtual machines using the data store I put in place?  I know it sounds like a stupid question, but my concern comes from some reading I did on several computers, access to a single LUN.  If I set up another virtual machine, it will explode on my SAN file system as two virtual machines would be to access the same big VHD file on the NTFS partion, or I'm far from base?

  Issue of bonus points:

  I have an another R810 that I will be online soon.  Assuming that I am OK to add more virtual machines of my first machine, pourrais I connect this box in the data store as well and create virtual machines, or should I set up a separate data on another iSCSI target store?

  Thanks for your patience with a new guy.  I searched and read for hours, and I could have read too much so I thought that I had just askt experts.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Can I create several virtual machines using the data store that I put in place?

  Yes.

  If I set up another virtual machine, it will explode on my SAN file system as two virtual machines would be to access the same big VHD file on the NTFS partion, or I'm far from base?

  No, you should be fine.  One thing to keep in mind is that the Windows/MS iSCSI target is not a supported storage solution.  There could be problems of scalability with iSCSI Windows/MS, but you'll be fine in a VMware perspective.

  I have an another R810 that I will be online soon.  Assuming that I am OK to add more virtual machines of my first machine, pourrais I connect this box in the data store as well and create virtual machines, or should I set up a separate data on another iSCSI target store?

  You could, but I personally would put in place a different data store on another iSCSI target.

  Good luck!

• PowerCLI - there cmdlets to browse the store of data for files/directories and their creation?

  Hello

  PowerCLI - there cmdlets to browse the store of data for files/directories and their creation?

  If Yes, can you please let me know.

  I took a glance at the reference of the cmdlet, but can not find...

  
  Kind regards

  Dreamer

  You can use the data store provider.

  It is documented in the vSphere PowerCLI Administration Guide that was installed with PowerCLI.

• "Virtual Machine is a store of data not managed by vCloud Director."

  The deployment of new virtual machines in vCD 1.5 we see alerts the system on all the deployed virtual machines that say "Virtual Machine is a store of data not managed by vCloud Director.  Virtual machine has mounted the media or the drive to a store of data not managed by vCloud Director.  Ensure that the Virtual Machine has all the drives and the media mounted on a data store managed by vCloud Director".

  The virtual machines in the catalogue have been imported from vCenter and have a single drive and no media mounted.  Storage is the same that the new virtual machines are deployed.  Virtual machines of power on the good and seem to be ok, but they are all showing this alert system, with 3 catalog from different sources.

  Indeed, it is the question.

  I used SSD on the local disks for VM vswap. I have it configured on Cluster (cluster vswap policy for vSphere) and I got this error message.

  I configured the Cluster vswap strategy to use the same directory as the virtual machine, and I use the new "Host Cache" feature of ESXi5 to use my local SSD drives.

  Fixed it.

  To deliver you, just configure the policy of vswap cluster where you will store the vswap with virtual machine (on the same storage seen by vCD) or add storage nfs for the vCD and it will fix your problem.

  Hello

  Yes, the speed and connectivity of the internet must be consistent for the applications to work properly.

  I suggest you create a new user account and checkif the problem persists.

  Create a new user account.

  Setting up a new user account is a very easy process in Windows 8. There are two types of user accounts, a Microsoft user account and a Local user account. See this link for more information on the two types of user accounts and how to create them.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-user-account

  Try to connect with the user account that is having right of the administrator and check if the problem persists.

  I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please get back to us and we would be happy to help you.

• AiOSoftwareNPI (* .ms) the Setup program does not start when I start my computer.

  original title: AiOSoftwareNPI

  I'm having a problem with a software AiOSoftwareNPI problem (* .ms) the Setup program does not start when I start my computer.

  I know it's a Windows Installer but I don't have a disc with this route. I even tried to reinstall the windows xp disk and it does not work, I still

  get the same box when I shutdown and restart. The box allows me not to leave him continues to appear.

  Thank you

  Ms. C

  After doing a Google search for AiOSoftwareNPI and followed by the reading of many different threads in various forums, I found that it is for drivers for an HP all-in-One printer.

  You have an HP printer?

  If so, the usual suggestion was to place your HP printer disk in your CD/DVD drive and restart. After reboot would be installed the necessary files and the pop - up would more appear at startup. I don't know if it will actually work because in all the discussions I've read, none of the original poster never responded by saying that it worked or not.

  The next most common suggest was to download the latest driver for your HP printer to your version of Windows (including at the level of the ILO) and install it. Yet, not a single original poster has responded.

  In fact, if you have an HP printer I suggest to visit the web site of HP support below the link to get the latest drivers and their installation. Visit the support for the correct installation method and if you need to remove the old driver first. You can also visit the communities of Support HP for assistance (a link for communities is also on the next page).

• We get the popup "USB device not recognized", when nothing is connected.

  Original title: pop up message

  I connected the USB cord to transfer information from your old phone to new phone via Itunes.  Since that time that I keep getting a pop up message that says: device not recognized USB, the defective device, windows does not recognize.  Nothing is plugged in, but message appears every few seconds.  How can I get him to stop?

  Hello

  It seems that you are getting the popup "USB device not recognized", when nothing is connected.

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

  I suggest to uninstall the USB controllers and check if you get the context menu.

  
  

  Method 1: Remove and reinstall all USB controllers

  
  

  a. clickStart, type devmgmt.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.

  b. expandBus USB controllers.

  c. right-click on each device under theBus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.

  d. restart the computer, and windows will install the rear USB drivers.

  If reinstalling USB host controllers fails to resolve the issue, go to method 2.

  Method 2: See the procedure suggested by johnkelly46 responded on October 26, 2009, from this link.

  If you have additional problems, please reply to this post and we will be happy to help you further.

• The mouse pointer does not hide when you type, even with the box checked.

  Hello everyone.  I turned on the check mark in the properties of the mouse "hide the pointer during the strike".  However, the mouse pointer does not hide when typing, but instead remains visible all the time.

  No one knows why this happens?  In previous versions of Windows, the pointer should simply disappear when keystrokes are typed, and then reappear when the mouse is moved.  Is not the case here!

  Thanks for any information!

  Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1, 4 GB ram

  Hello

  Welcome to the community of Windows Vista.

  1. what application you are working on when you encountered this problem?

  Hide the mouse pointer option allows you only to remove the mouse curzor of
  the focus in the working window so that the cursor does not cover the text or the pitcure you see.

  Make sure that the curzor of the mouse is placed inside the app as you type, as it does not hide the mouse, if it is outside of the application.

  Change the settings of the mouse
