Storage Vmotion - have
Olá Senhores, tudo beleza?
UM client adopt Vmware no ambiente quer usar Doi/place CF, pretende usar Storage Vmotion, HA hosts alem, ele thought em HA of storage.
Pergunto:
Docks e os pre-have technical material para what a coisa h.? SEI nao e only comprar o vSphere Enterprise, tem, but things a consider.
E, em um mesmo ambiente, vale a pena adopt Doi storages fazer para Storage Vmotion? OU seria desnecessario, works as storage so, em um e totally redundante ja.
Valeu!
Ivanildo,
Quando você faz storage vmotion, ele copia o servidor e leva para o outra lun do storage você estiver utilizando, or ate mesmo para um storage diferente, very ele nao mantem an original of copia, ele move os dados e pronto.
Em relaçao has ter experiencia voce precisar a lun of e origerm a lun of destino do no host wave esta VM. Em caso migrar by um mesmo as a VM atualmente esta diferente storage, basta as host VMware have access o e have a lun mapeada.
Caso VM is em disco local, e serums migrada para o storage, Sera necessario desligar a virtual machine.
Caso a snapshot of o have VM, voce ter than deletar, snapshot dependendo da versão VMware than used, senao POIS voce me engano na versão 5.X ja e fazer storage vmotion instant com possible.
E tem also one part of licença as voce ja says.
Segue documento com maiores details sober requerimento e limitacoes.
Como o Rafanovo says, o Storage Vmotion or o DTS sao nao para manter alta Tranquilo storage, nesse caso você precisa replicar um storage os dados para outro of forma com você sempre uma copied storage Principial has no storage of contingencia preferencia em tempo real, para as voce garanta than seus dados are atualalizados.
Usually some storages ja tem essa characteristic of sincronismo e copy os dados.

VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.
Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

question of vMotion and storage vMotion
I have everything set, UCS 5108, ESXi host, VMs, I don't have a SAN connection yet... My question is if I can enable vMotion? Let's say I have a cluster in vCenter, within this group, I have attached two ESXi host, win2008 VM in an ESXi and running, I can migrate (using vMotion) as win2008 VM to an another ESXi without connection SAN?
How storage vMotion to an ESXi host hardrive to an another ESXi host hardrive? Is this possible?
Note: I have not connection SAN in this configuration
One of the requirements for vMotion is shared storage that would allow visibility between source and destination ESXi hosts. (SAN, iSCSI or NFS).

Hi all
Newbie VMware admin here, I hope it's an easy question. I have several boxes of Microsoft SQL I need to move the drive on which the operating system is installed on, they have all RDM attached when I try a storage vmotion, it looks like her wanting to move all the drives instead of one, i have never attempted to move a system with RDM attached to it, but I need to get away from this former storage we have urged. All tips are appreciated thank you!
Thank you
You can migrate both at the same time, even if you choose a different destination.
You're welcome and don't forget brand useful and/or correct answers.

Storage vmotions run very slowly. The virtual machine that has a 60 GB HARD drive. I tried different storage and still the same result. I have even upgraded to a network of 10 GB with the same results. I opened an evidence of support and the engineer told me vmotion will not use the link in full speed but it seems quite slow for the numbers I get. I hope I have provided enough information below for assistance. I hope that it is something I am doing wrong...
Hosts:
3 x ESXi host. Two are updated to version 6.0 1 and a version 5.5.
Dell PowerEdge R610
Xeon E5540 - 8 x 2.53GHz
48 GB OF RAM
10 GB for storage and vmotion traffic
4 x 1 Gb NIC for vm traffic interconnection
All storage is on the shared storage. The only local thing is the operating system
VMware EVC mode for the production of Intel's Nehalem.
Storage
Supermicro NAS 2 to 4 x 4 RAID 10 storage pools
Integrated 10 GB NIC
QNAP TS - 469U - PR to 4 x 4 RAID 5 NAS
2 x 1 GB NIC aggregated link
Network
All 3 hosts and NAS are connected with a Netgear dedicated 10 GB switch (low-end model).
Using a standard vswitch
Problem
1 ESXi host has a computer virtual stored on storage on NAS Supermicro 1 pool. When a storage vmotion is running on a virtual machine that has a 60 GB VMDK, it takes a long time to complete. He started at 09:36, and is now 61% fine at 10:58.
2. the network of 10 GB is where the vmotion traffic is allowed.
3. If I use a link to 10 GB or a 1 GB link, I get the same speed.
4. I have disabled all VM at a time given for the trial and who has not helped either.
5. I tried a QNAP so storage vmotion, and I get the same speed.
I use connection CAT6A cables. I have fine tuned for storage, and it seems to work better now. Seems to be linked to "writing - sync" as ESXi.

Sequence of migration for storage vMotion?
Hello
I'm moving a couple of virtual machine data to another store.
I noticed that different virtual machines get different status, such as:
Copy of the files of virtual machines
The active state of VM migration
Resources currently used by other operations... Pending
I know that it should migrate the active state of VM and then copy the files from the virtual machine. However, for a machine virtual, it is already 67% current but status is always "the active state of the Virtual Machine migration."
Is there that an article mentions the details of Storage vMotion?
See you soon
Resources currently used by other operations... Pending
This is because for each host, we have 2 simultaneous storage vMotion migration limits, so if you raise more, system will be queued.
about the documents, please see suite PDF, this technical white paper concerns the performance and best practices, but it has rather nice, explanations on memory storage Migration and VM migration.

Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store
Hello
I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick. I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store. I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.
I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc. I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.
Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Ty-
You will need to use the API method, see for example Re: using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store

Storage vmotion esxi 5.5 to 6.0 does not not for some vm
In a test cluster with 2 nodes with no storage storage shared (local only), host vmotion 5.5 to 6.0 host does not work.
before the upgrade, I moved all the vm to a host.
Then I upgraded to 6.0 host and tried to move all the VMS to the host 6.0 updated (moving host + storage).
20 VM, 5 have been moved to the new host.
Everyone always get error below.
The VM Client are all the vm version 10 (but some of them improved 8 or 9).
ClientOS Windows 2008, 2012 r2 and linux. Some with vmx3, some with e1000.
The machines can be moved when turned off.
After the off-vmotion, storage vmotion from 6 to 5.5 and return of 5.5 to 6 works again.

Any idea to solve this problem? Maybe it's a bug with vsphere 6.0
Given that some machines were functioning and vmotion later in both directions from 6.0 to 5.5 works, I think that is no configuration error.
Hello
It seems that there could be a bug or that guests have difficulties to negotiate the transfer of drive on a network. VMotions storage are carried out via the management network (limitation of hard due to the codification)-are you sure that management networks are not overloaded or that they operate at the desired speed? This also happens with machines that have actually disabled followed block? It seems that this could be a problem.
In addition, you use the 'old' client or Web client? It is possible that some features in vSphere 6.0 may have been omitted in the old thick client.
Below are the errors:

storage vmotion 4 1 TB vmdk to a new data store 4TB on 5.5
All,
Benefit in performance if the 4 storage vmotion VMDK located on 4 separate data warehouses in a newly created 4TB data store. with 5.5 capacity 62, I was hoping that someone could tell me.
I appreciate it
Well well, the response - as before - is "it depends...". ».
If you want to use a large drive or multiple small disks depends on the structure of data. If you can not divide the data into departments for example, projects, home/profile,... you can be better with a single large disk. Don't forget to use a GPT partition table, and you need to check if for example your backup software can handle that. Some image/VM based backup applications can backup and restore virtual drives very well, but do not have the ability to file level restore! Also don't forget that - disaster - restoration such a large virtual disk will take a significant amount of time during which data is not available for users. If the data structure allows to distribute to several virtual disks (you can always use DFS to present the data through a single share), I prefer this over the large virtual disk. With the smallest disks virtual, you will certainly have to watch each of them for free disk space, but you can increase the size of disk individually and restoration of a single virtual disk can be done much more quickly (with other discs still online / available to users).

Storage vMotion to migrate a virtual machine to another data store. VMotion allows you to migrate a virtual machine to another host. If you want to migrate a virtual machine to another host and store data at the same time, the virtual machine must be stopped.

flying over the vmdk files after storage vmotion
People,
I finished a few vmotions storage and I see that there are some vmdk files left belonging to a virtual machine by flying over in the source data store.
Storage vmotion however was very good. Time last modified files are several months old.
If the vmdk files are old players was dismantled some time back?
There are also a few - zdump.000 left side files in source data warehouses. should you be worried about those?
Rahul-
Although I suppose the files are orphans, I always double-check for use before deleting. Virtual disk file (hard) can be changed only in case Active snapshots exist for them. What you can do is run RVTools, to see if these files appear as 'Zombies' and if so, I would say you first create a subdirectory and move the "orphans" files above and - if everything continues to work as expected - delete at a later date. Alternatively you can check the vmware.log of the virtual machine file to see if the files appear here.
Zdump files are created if something unexpected occurs. However, it is difficult to say what the brought to be created and if they are old and have any problems, you can delete just them.

Storage vmotion without vCenter
Friends,
I know that we cannot make a svMotion if we do not have a vCenter server.
What are the other ways to go about this. I found a blog in it?
http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/15/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/
Is this a way full proof?
Rahul-
Hello
Yes, it will work fine, if all the virtual machine files are in this folder.
If you have multiple VMDK, on different data warehouses and want to move all, it will get a bit more complicated.

Storage vmotion, between data warehouses when the block size is different
Hi all
I would like to know, is it possible to do a vmotion of storage between two data warehouses, when they have different block sizes. The case is as a former vmfs data store 3 which has been upgraded direct to vmfs5 there, but since it has been updated it maintains its own block size. While the newly created vmfs datastore 5 a block size of 1 MB.
Thus, storage Vmotion will work in this case? It will fail OR will be with degraded performance?
Finally, storage vmotion is possible even if you do not have a cluster DRS for storage?
Thank you
Yes you can!
