• View the number of paths and the political path for each data store

  Hi all

  Seem to be stuck on this one. and all that seems to be able to find through topis and scripts for the air path setting. All I have to do is list each data store to its policy of access road and the number of path for the data store on the host computer.

  I'm gussiing it uses the get-vmhoststorage cmdlet?

  Any help much appriciated.

  Phil

  Try something like this

  Get-VMHost | %{
       $esxImpl = $_
       $_ | Get-ScsiLun | where {$_.LunType -eq "Disk"} | %{
            $_ | Select @{N="HostName";E={$esxImpl.Name}},
            @{N="Path";E={$_.CanonicalName}},
            @{N="Policy";E={$_.MultiPathPolicy}},
            @{N="Number";E={($_ | Get-ScsiLunPath).Count}}

• Get the scsi for a data store information if the data store is known

  Hello

  I'm looking for a way to get the information of scsci for a data store if the name of the data store is known. In perl/powershell, this is not a big problem, but how to do this using the Orchestrator. It seems that some information is not available/accessible in vCO, as information volume.extent (object VcHostFileSystemVolume).

  For an example on how to do who, in powershell, see

  http://vwiki.co.UK/Datastore_to_LUN_Mapping_%28PowerCLI%29

  No idea on how to do the same with the Orchestrator.

  Concerning

  Thomas

  Hello

  Onyx would not help in this case. After thinking a bit, I found the solution. I looks like:

  for each {(var Mon in wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.storageDeviceInfo.multipathInfo.lun)

  System.Debug ("number of paths:" + lun.path.length);

  for each {(var path in lun.path)

  If (path.state == 'active') {}

  //

  Download the mountinfo

  //

  System.Debug ("mountinfo length:" + wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.fileSystemVolumeInfo.mountInfo.length);

  for each {(Mount var in wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.fileSystemVolumeInfo.mountInfo)

  If (mount.volume.hasOwnProperty ("extent")) {}

  for each {(measure of var in mount.volume.extent)

  var tmp = extent.diskName.split(/\./);

  var regExp = new RegExp(tmp[1],'gi');

  If (lun.id.match (regExp)) {}

  System.Debug ("mount.type:" + mount.volume.type);

  System.Debug ("mount.name:" + mount.volume.name);

  System.Debug ("extent.diskName:" + extent.diskName);

  }

  }

  }

• get support scsi LUNS for the data store?

  I've been delving into the different classes available to HostSystem.queryHostConnectionInfo () and none of the properties appear to contain the id of naa I see when I look at LUNS on an HBA.  How do you get to LUN support for a data store?

  Figured it out.  For anyone else who wants to know:

  I created two actions, one to return a hash of the id of naa-online data store object and another action to return a hash of the naa-online drive scsi id

  // actions
  //getDatastoresKeyedByLUN
  var o_diskHash = new Properties();
  
  for each (var scsiDisk in u_host.config.storageDevice.scsiLun)
  {
    //System.log("-> LUN: " + scsiDisk.canonicalName);
    for each (var dataStore in u_host.datastore)
    {
    if (dataStore.info.hasOwnProperty("extent"))
    {
    for each (var scsiDiskPartition in dataStore.info.vmfs.extent)
    {
    if (scsiDiskPartition.diskName == scsiDisk.canonicalName)
    {
    o_diskHash.put(scsiDisk.canonicalName, dataStore);
    }
    }
    }
    }
  }
  
  return o_diskHash;
  
  // getScsiDisksKeyedByLUN
  var o_diskHash = new Properties();
  
  for each (var scsiDisk in u_host.config.storageDevice.scsiLun)
  {
    o_diskHash.put(scsiDisk.canonicalName, scsiDisk);

• Separate the VMkernel for pulse data store traffic?

  Hello.

  I was just reading Tech EqualLogic report 'Configuring iSCSI connectivity with VMware vSphere 5 and Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage' and saw something again on pages 3-4.

  Dell recommends to create a vmkernel port highly available on the subnet iSCSI serving as vmkernel default port for pulse data store traffic, so that the pulsation of data store traffic will then sit outside the iSCSI Software initiator and consumes any connection of additional iSCSI storage. He goes on to say that the traffic of pulsation of the data store will always use the lowest numbered VMkernel ports on the vSwitch.

  It makes sense, but this is the first I've heard of this. Everybody does that, with EQ or other iSCSI solutions?

  Thank you

  Brian

  
  

  Not sure that what talking about Dell, but the heartbeat "traffic" data store using the links normal iSCSI. Each host will have a file on one of the heartbeat data stores and open it which means there a lock on the file. The overhead is minimal and there is no need to worry at all.

  Let's say that the period is 21.10.2014. -23.10.2014. and I want to get the last balance recorded for zone 1. for each day. The result should look like this:

  21.10.2014.  15:00:34     1       1    1237

  23.10.2014.  23:57:12     1       1    25
  

  So far, I managed to write a query that gives me the balance so that a SINGLE date (date more time in the table), but I need balance for EACH date in a specific period.

  My incorrect code (has not managed to implement "BETWEEN" for the dates...):

  SELECT TestTable.[Date], TestTable.[Time], TestTable.[Location], TestTable.[Box], TestTable.[Balance]
  FROM TestTable
  WHERE Time=(SELECT MAX(Time)
  FROM TestTable
  WHERE Location=1 AND Box=1 );
  

  TNX!

  NP

  Here's the correct query (just copy - paste):

  SELECT
  T1.Date,
  T1.Time,
  T1.Location,
  T1.Box,
  T1.Balance
  FROM TestTable T1
  INNER JOIN (
  SELECT
  MAX(Time) AS Max_Time
  FROM TestTable
  WHERE Location=1 AND Box=1 AND Date BETWEEN #10/27/2014# AND #11/1/2014#
  GROUP BY Date) T2
  ON T1.Time=T2.Max_Time;
  

  The problem is in the SELECTION within the INNER JOIN. This SELECTION selects the time max for each date, because we want this and then the entire table, we choose filelds we want, but now we have only fields with the time max.

  Here is a really good explanation of INNER JOIN if anyone is interested--> JOINT INTERNAL

• Storage VMotion for several data stores

  I'm looking for some advice and assistance with the help of the vSphere PowerCLI to SVMotions.

  I found that I can use virtual vmname Get-machine | Move-VM - datastore (Get-Datastore datastorename) that has worked very well and I was ready to roll. However, it occurred to me that I can only refer to a data store in the cmdlet and some of our virtual machines have their drives located on different data warehouses.

  So I set up a test VM with two disks of different data warehouses and began a SVMotion. The result was that it has migrated all disks in their separate data warehouses in a single folder on the target.

  What I need to be able to do is to migrate a disk and leave the other in its original location, or migrate two disks of different locations in two different places again. As you can do if you switch the machine virtual and migrate through the graphical interface, moving storage with advanced options (and probably what you can do via the graphical interface with the virtual machine in vSphere).

  I've got ESX 3.5 Update 5 with vCenter 2.5 update 6 If no GUI in VirtualCenter and the free snap option not taken in charge is not an option.

  Is there a way to do it with the PowerCLI or am I limited to migration the data store's unique virtual machine?

  Thank you very much.

  This can be achieved using the. RelocateVM_Task() method of the VirtualMachine SDK object

  See the code below:

  $configDatastoreName = "DataStore_01"
  $HardDisk1DatastoreName = "DataStore_02"
  $HardDisk2DatastoreName = "Datastore_03"
  
  $vm = Get-VM VM001
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
  #Get MoRef for Destination datastore for Config files
  $spec.Datastore = (Get-Datastore $configDatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  
  #for each disk specify where the vmdk files should be placed.
  #If a vmdk should NOT be moved, enter its CURRENT datastore
  #If you forget to specify a disks location, it will be moved to the datastore
  #specified in $spec.Datastore
  
  #HardDisk 1
  $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $objDisk.DiskID = $vm.HardDisks[0].Id.Split('/')[1]
  $objDisk.DataStore = (Get-Datastore $HardDisk1DatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  
  #HardDisk 2
  $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $objDisk.DiskID = $vm.HardDisks[1].Id.Split('/')[1]
  $objDisk.DataStore = (Get-Datastore $HardDisk2DatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  
  #When all harddisks are specified call the RelocateVM_task()
  $vm.ExtensionData.RelocateVM_Task($spec, "defaultPriority")

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  Configuration:

  -HP Proliant Microserver N40L

  -HP Smart Array P410/512 MB BBWC, FW 3.66 Controller

  -4 x 2 TB as a Raid5

  HP-ESXi - 5.5.0 - iso - 5.72 A

  I read a lot of articles on > limits of 2 TB of older versions of ESXi or controllers, limitation of 4 TB of c# vSphere Client, old firmware and esxi driver problems, etc.

  But I could not understand the problem.

  The P410 controller shows 5.5 TB:

  ~ # esxcli hpssacli cmd - q "controller connector = 1 see the config.

  Smart Array P410 in slot 1 (sn: PACCRID110510NR)

  Array A (SATA, used space: 0 MB)

  logicaldrive 1 (5.5 TB, RAID 5, OK)

  then 2I:0:5 (port 2I:box 0:bay 5, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:6 (port 2I:box 0:bay 6, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:7 (port 2I:box 0:bay 7, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  MS (Vendor ID PMCSIERA, model SRC 8x6G) 250 (WWID: 5001438013D9F37F)

  ESXi obviously knows the same size:

  ~ # Esxcli storage core devices list

  But does that 4 TB:

  I tried to increase the size of the data store, last used area was 11720890367 and last sector was 11720890510 which doesn't really seem to translate into an increase of 1.8 to.

  Thanks for your help.

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon

• Name of device for the data store list

• Increase the volume for the data store

  Hello

  Someone recognizes this problem?

  When you try to increase a volume of data store in vSphere4 we get the following message: "error during the configuration of the host. Failed to get the disk partition information.

  We use a MSA2324 of HP storage as a storage (data store) to our servers of vSphere. I increased the volume of the utility interface HP Storage manager 1.5 TB to 2.2 TB. So far so good. But when I try to increase the datastore in vSphere, this error message occurs.

  I've done this before, but now it doesn't seem to work. We have 25 active servers attached to this data store. I REALLY want to increase this volume online. It will probably work if I stop all virtual servers, restart the server VSphere and then increase the volume.
