Storage won't increase, extended LUN

Hi, so I'm having a weird problem. We need to increase the size of one of our data warehouses. I've done this process several times before and never had a problem. I increased a LUN on the SAN of 700 GB GB 825. I re-read my adapters on the hosts. When I click on the data store and click on properties of Configuration-> storage on the host, I see the following.

VMware can see so clearly that the storage is here. However when I click on the increase, it does not show the additional space.

I tried a new analysis of many times, no change. I was able to expand a different LUN and extend the data store from this same SAN in the meantime successfully, so clearly, that there is nothing wrong with this side of things. I increased the storage on that store of data a few times before, but nowhere nearly 32 times, which I understand is the maximum number of extensions (this is a VMFS-5 data store).

Anyone has any ideas or should I open a case of pension?

With the increase in the data store, you made only resize the partition.  Extensions (32 degrees you mentioned) were necessary front of vSphere 4 or for data storage > 2 TB with VMFS3, where you resized data warehouses by adding additional LUNS (extensions).

Anyway, try to increase the store of data by connecting to a ESXi host directly instead of vCenter Server to see if it works.

  • CC the storage with photography plan quota [Adobe said sales quote to 2 GB storage can be increased up to 72 GB free of charge.] How?]

    I just subscribed to the plan of photography CC which incudes PS and LR CC.

    It is possible that Adobe changed their policy, but the last I heard there were limits, by plan, with NO additional storage available

    -Special photography Plan includes 2 gigabytes of storage cloud

  • Storage control IO to multiple LUNS on 1 table

    Yesterday I read on I/o control of storage in vSphere, and it seems logical to me. However, what has not been clarified is if/how it works when you multiple LUNS on the same table, and how you set it up in such a scenario.

    In our environment, we have 2 bays EqualLogic (PS100 and PS6000), with the array created as a single group with a little less of 7 TB of space in RAID 10.

    Most of our data is shared between 3 LUNs, 1 store our VDIs, the 2 other storage server VM, set up a single data store with a certain extent. (I'm trying to develop a plan to better distribute our virtual machines for a server) to get rid of the measure and 2) recover unused space (the server of virtual machines are only about 3 TB in size, but because of servers added and retired, takes more space on the San of 3.9 to).

    Thank you

    Each data store gets its own statistics IGCS, so each of them is controlled indepedently.

  • I want to know the requirements that must be given to the team of storage before you create a lun

    I want to know the requirements that must be given to the team of storage before asking a LUN

    Generally the responsibility of a team of storage is to provide space for guests and make sure they can meet the space and I/O requirements. creating a virtual machine is usually done by the administration of VMware.

    Basic information the storage team is the needs of WWN (in the case of FC storage) or IP addresses and s iqn (in the case of iSCSI) to set up the hosts. In addition to this the high need know that it is a VMware environment. According to the storage systems, hosts must be defined with the appropriate operating system that uses the LUN. Once the hosts are configured, all you have to do is to tell the storage team what LUN size you need, who is hosting the LUN must be submitted and probably the input/output expected for the VM running on this LUN, so that they can make the decision for example RAID levels a hierarchy...

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

  • Extend an iscsi LUN without losing VM

    I created originally for my data store a 500 GB iSCSI VMFS LUNs. I noticed that I had more available SAN storage, so I increased the size of 500 GB to 1.3 TB LUN LUN for our VMWare data store. I currently have a VM DC on this LUN I want to thank. When I go to the store and add the extension, it is said that the drive will be formatted and all data will be erased. There is a host of ESXi v3.5. What is the best way to extend this LUN without losing my VM domain controller?

    Should I try to move the virtual machine to the internal storage using the browser to store data? What do I have to use VMWare Converter to move the virtual machine off the iscsi lun until the LUN is extended, or is there another way? With your recommendations can also provide you with exact to directions?  It is a production environment, and I don't have a lot of experience, make this type of move.  Your comments are greatly appreciated.

    Hey Monty,

    One thing to remember, whenever you play no matter what sizing such thing w.r.t. the LUN always take relevant backup and can do what you want to play. The error you get is the error for the new extend this when adding, all the data on the new measure will be lost, so certainly, you can spend without any hestations.

  • Storage Vmotion of several disks on multiple LUNS

    Hi, I'm under ESXi 4 Update 2 and have a file server with hard on multiple LUNS, I need to migrate the drives out of the old array to storage and from our new.  I want to do online, if anyone knows how to do a vmotion storage disks residing on different LUNS that need to stay on different LUNS?  Thanks a bunch,

  • Failed to add LUN storage

    HI, I am trying to add a new storage and after selecting the LUN, I get the following message:

    Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '10.212.77.30' failed.

    The LUN is 465 GB in size and it's hosted on a HP MSA60, I recreated the LUN several times and still not the same error, what could be the cause for it?

    Resolution:

    VMware cannot format some LUNS but windows can and once the logical unit number is in the format Windows, vmware can reformat

    Create a virtual Windows machine test and fix a new hard drive and select the LUN as a raw device Mapping...

    Connect to Windows VM Test

    Open disk management

    and re-run the analysis for the new drive

    Format the new drive

    VI - change the settings of the virtual machine and remove the new drive

    Now, try to add it as a new storage device... This works.

    Hello.

    I used an installation based on the script to trackle this problem of disk split into two partitions

    1. Create disk configuration

    Cat < < EOFdisk > >/tmp/diskconfig

    clearpart - alldrives - overwritevmfs

    part/boot - fstype = ext3 - size = 1100 - onfirstdisk

    No part - fstype = vmkcore - size = 110 - onfirstdisk

    part $: esxconsole - fstype = vmfs3 - size = 40000 - maxsize = 40000 onfirstdisk - part $: local - fstype = vmfs3 - size = 40000 - grow - onfirstdisk

    VirtualDisk esxconsole - size = 16607 - onvmfs = $: esxconsole

    party swap - fstype = swap - size = 1600 - maxsize = 1600 - onvirtualdisk = "esxconsole".

    part/var - fstype = ext3 - size = 4000 - maxsize = 4000 - onvirtualdisk = "esxconsole".

    part/home - fstype = ext3 - size = 2000 - maxsize = 2000 - onvirtualdisk = "esxconsole".

    part / opt - fstype = ext3 - size = 2000 - maxsize = 2000 - onvirtualdisk = "esxconsole".

    part/tmp - fstype = ext3 - size = 2000 - maxsize = 2000 - onvirtualdisk = "esxconsole".

    part / - fstype = ext3 - size = 5000 - push - onvirtualdisk = "esxconsole".

    In the post installation, you can format the secondary drive

    vimsh - not hostsvc/storage/refreshment

    sleep 5

  • LUN ghosts under "add storage.

    Hello

    OK, so this is going to prove that I'm still learning.

    vSphere 4 (ESX4), using an EMC SAN.  My guy in storage created me a LUN TB 5.37 and 4.03 TB LUN.  I connected to the first LUN and started trying to create a VMFS data store, and of course he did not how I thought it should.  And I went to the documentation and the book Mastering by Scott Lowe has learned the rule of 2 TB - 512 K.  I love to learn things.

    So, I got my guy from storage will seduce the large LUNS and dismantle them in small LUNs, all less 2 TB.

    The problem I see is that the original two large LUNS are still appear in the add storage wizard window.  I tried refreshing and reparsing.  The large LUNS appear again - I guess that the real problem is that the smaller MON new are not all appear - miss me a unit logic of each of the large lun number.  Here's what I mean - the 5.37 TB lun has been removed from the SAN and three LUNS 1.79 TB have been created, but I do not see the first of three people.  Even with TB 4.03 LUN that was initially created and then deleted and divided into third - I don't see the first ONE of this lot either.

    I guess I have to refresh something and probably learn new things from command line.  I love to learn new things.  Has anyone seen elsewhere this behavior, or has any suggestions?  I have already confirmed with my guy in storage that old LUNS have been washed properly and correctly created new ones.

    Thank you

    -Steve

    It is actually a problem with the service console itself, I guess you are using the classic ESX.  I ran in there with physical Linux servers as well.  You can have these changed now the new Lun ID LUN or a restart if you want to keep them.  New LUN IDs would avoid a reboot.

    In a perfect world, a new analysis would be all you have to do, but with some berries SAN (my HDS is notorious for this), I had no chance without a reboot.

  • ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

    ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

    Objective: move vmdk to store data with adequate storage and then increase storage D: 20G to 100G

    Converter is not available on this architecture. Can I migrate cold vm to the different data store, no prob.

    Question: Without use of the converter, method 3 can be used without a secondary vm? In other words, just by using target vm offline, online, offline? Or is it a problem of signing/OS disk on the Windows Virtual PC?

    I need to move vmdk in different LUN and extend drive vm windows on D: (non-OS drive). Is this possible via the single procedure? Options?

    To use method 3 to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/81121 requires available vm 'secondary', I did not.

    Method 3? Using of vmkfstools and another VM of Windows to extend a drive

    o stop the VM to resize

    o log in the console ESX Server via Putty

    o Type? vmkfstools? X & lt; new size of drive & gt; vmfs/volumes / & lt; storage volume name & gt;. / & lt; virtual server name & gt;. / & lt; the virtual disk name & gt;? That is to say. /vmfs/volumes/Storage1/my_vm.VMDK new disk size can be specified in kilo, mega, or gigabytes and will be the total size of the new disk. So if you want to increase a virtual disk of 20 GB of 24GO you would put 24000 m or 24g

    o the second virtual machine to help stop

    o change the second virtual machine settings and add the first virtual machine hard drive

    o power on the second VM and load the disk management snap-in and verify that the first virtual machine disk has unallocated on it space

    o select Start, run and enter diskpart.exe

    o the command? the list of volume? This will show you all the volumes.

    o select your volume based on the results of the list volume command, IE. ? Select volume 1?

    o type the command? extend? to extend the volume

    o check again the disk management snap-in and the volume is expected to be expanded with a greater ability

    o stop the second VM and remove (do not remove) the record of it

    o turn your first VM and the new space should be there and ready to use.

    for VI3, vmoiton of storage is made by RCLI plugin or a 3rd party

    I prefer the plugin

    http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/VMware-ESX-articles/VMotion-DRS-high-availability/storage-VMotion-SVMotion-VI-plugin.html

    In addition, if the option to increase the size of the disk in the VIC is grayed out, it sounds like a permissions issue.  Finally, you can not extend the disc using the VIC, if the customer in question has a snapshot.

  • I rigged a storage capacity... Please help me!

    In short, I increased the LUN on the SAN to 3 TB (call it A) and told me now that VMFS 5.54 only supports up to 2 TB, the question is therefore, in my frantic state how I'd get things to the way it was (which becomes full and why I'm here now trying to reclaim space on the San to give an another 2 TB LUN) seamlessly and without interruptions (is this possible?), keep in mind that we are running vSphere Essentials 5, more so not storage vMotion, and please forgive my ignorance...

    1. create a new 2 TB LUN (B).

    2. stop on A VMs

    3. move the contents of the data 3 TB LUN (A) store to the newly created data LUN (B) store above

    4. destroy the 3 TB (A)

    5. create an another LUN TB 2 (C) to use as we needed more space in a first time...

    5 tada? who is? I don't think right and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    The maximum size of the file is referred to (for example virtual disk files) files on VMFS data store. BTW. the 2 TB limitation (less than 512 bytes) has been removed with vSphere 5.5 and the maximum file size is 62 TB now.

    In this box we have 4 MON, on one of the LUNS we run out of free space, I can increase the LUN to increase it on the side of VMware and Equallogic?

    I know by until it was not recommended, but do not know how it is now with vSphere 4. Any suggestions?

    extend is possible but then it would be better to create a new LUN, and then balance your IO request and not a large unit number logic.
