• Cannot migrate the MRS server to the data store different

  Our SRM server is a virtual machine.  I need to pass the different VM SRM to a data store, but when I do a migration, it allows me to choose the data store, but then I get an error

  "This unchecked method by ' moref = vm-186.

  I stop the MRS server to move?

  I had solved it.  I tried to stop the SRM server, but I couldn't move it yet.  I found myself by opening a ticket with VMWare.  They come back with a 2008957 knowledge base article.  Although this article does not reference the same exact error, the workaround solution provided (remove from the VCenter inventory, browse the data store and make a 'add to inventory' on the VMX file) seems to have taken care of the issue

• Better use of disk space on the server esxi (for data store)

  I have a HP Proliant DL380G6 which currently has 2 146 GB hard drives in a Raid0 configuration.  We quickly realize that this is not enough space for all of the virtual machine, we have running.

  Is there a way of 'clean' to add disks to this server - by this I want to say one where we don't have to add readers, and then reconfigure the raid5 raid card, and reinstall...

  And on a related issue (even if it may seem irrelevant):

  Some of our virtual machines are currently on a mounted NFS datastore that I want to spend in the local data store.  One of them has quite a few clichés that take up a lot of space.  What is the CORRECT way to migrate the virtual machine to the other local datastore, get rid of all snapshots (maintenance of the VM in its current state)?

  Believe it or not. . Just select Remove all.

  You are here is not a cliché. . It's your current state and not be deleted unless you select "go to" (note the different icon)

  (even if I understand your concern)

  If you are really nervous and wants to prove it to yourself, just test it on a virtual machine with no snapshots (create a snapshot, add a file, delete the snapshots and see if the files still exists)

• SVMotion VMs to different data stores

• Editing a data store on the backup server

  Hello

  I have an ESXi 4.0 production (free version) with 2 virtual machines.

  I have a second server ESXi 4.0 which will be my backup server. This server has a data store single named 'VM-Store.

  Question: Can my production server I mount the datastore (VM-Store) located by backup server?

  Thank you

  Terry

  Welcome to the forums - you can not mount th einternal by another host ESX esx host storage - you'll need some kind of storage device shared as FC SAN, iSCSI SAN or NAS/NFS.

• vCenter showing this vm in two data stores (a used display 0.00 B of 12.66 GB space)

  I have a couple of VMs that according to vCenter are present in multiple data stores. In all cases a data store would be showing 0.00 B of xx.xx GB used space.

  

  Is there a way to fix this? All I can think is that at some point the virtual machine could have migrated from one to another data store. It's never been renamed; Among the stores of data has no file like below...

  Your virtual machine based on the list of files, runs from snapshot and maybe the State of the virtual machine before taking the snapshot has been using the ISO on the old data store. If you can, try to remove the snapshot and the reference to the old data store will be deleted.

• POS supports several data stores?

  
  I noticed that a limit of 2 TB data store VPD and 8 to VIENNA. Can I create several data stores if I the size of the data more than that?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I Don t think it is possible to go to more than 8 GB in the Advanced edition. I Don t find anything in the documentation to go further than 8 GB.

  But if you need multiple data stores, you can go up to 10 devices POS by vCenter.

• Add several NFS data stores to multiple ESX hosts

  I am trying to write a script that will set up several NFS exports to multiple ESX hosts. Here is the script I use, it will add an NFS export to an esx host list.

  $esx = (get-Content servers.txt)

  {}
  $Host_Name = (Read-Host "enter the server (ex: storage-san)")
  $Path = (Read-Host "enter the path (ex: / ds_name/flight/flight)")
  $Name = (Read-Host "Enter the name of the data store")

  {foreach ($server in $esx)
  $Error.Clear)
  Get-VMHost $server | New-Nfs Datastore - NfsHost $Host_Name-path $Path - name $Name | Out-Null
  If ($error.count - gt 0) {$error | out-file ($server, 'c:\powershell scripts\logs\' + '.txt')}
  }

  $add_more = Read-Host "want to show you another data store?
  }
  While ($add_more - eq 'Yes' - or $add_more - eq "y")

  This script actually works OK but I can't just she kick sending and walk. If I have 10 stores of data to add, I have to wait for the current to the end, and then type the information for the second, etc..

  I was hoping just to type all the information from the beginning and the shot of the script to the wide and let him go. Here is what I added, you can see where I'm going with this?

  $esx = (get-Content servers.txt)

  $num_mounts = (Read-Host "Do you have multiple media")
  If ($num_mounts - eq 'Yes' - or $num_mounts - eq "y")
  {
  $mounts = @(Read-Host "supports différents combien avez_vous")

  #prompt me for all the different right monte upwards before and then executed by the actual task of Mount...
  }

  Any ideas?

  Try something like this

  $servers = @()
  $paths = @()
  $datastores = @()
  
  $answer = Read-Host "Enter another NFS mount ?" while($mount -eq "y"){
      $servers += Read-Host "Enter the NFS host"    $paths += Read-Host "Enter the path"    $datastores += Read-Host "Datastore name ?"    $answer = Read-Host "Enter another NFS mount ?"}
  
  $Error.Clear()
  
  Get-Content servers.txt | %{
      $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $_    $countNFS = $servers.Count
      if($countNFS -ne 0){
          0..($countNFS - 1) | %{
              New-Datastore -Nfs -NfsHost $servers[$_] -Path $paths[$_] -Name $datastores[$_] | Out-Null            if($Error.count -gt 0){
                  $Error | out-file ('c:\powershell scripts\logs\' + $server + '.txt')
                  $Error.Clear()
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

  The script reads all the data in the tables.

  Then it loops through all ESX hosts from the servers.txt file, and for each host, it will create all the NFS data storages.

• check the free space on the data store before making svmotion

  Example:

  -must first check that that sizeof (VMs to be moved) < sizeof (destination) - 50 GB before in terms of the

  -should leave a 50 GB buffer so that the script ends when all the VMS are moved from source data store or there are only 50 GB left on the source data store

  -must move VM to store data source to the destination data store 2 at a time, until the completion

  -must create a local log file, and then send this log file using the relay smtp server.

• Multiple ESX servers to access the same data store

  We connect our ESX servers to an Equallogic SAN iSCSI using VMWare iSCSI card.   I have a data store that has ISO files to store.   So far, I can connect only this data to an ESX Server store on time.  I have to disconnect an and connect manually to the other.  We currently have a facility relatively bare bones (don't have vCenter again, grouping, etc.).

  Is there anyway to connect the same data store to multiple ESX servers?  I tried to adjust the volume of Equallogic SAN for read only (since I just need to read ISO files), but I can't connect to ESX servers when I do this.

  Remember that the volume is enabled for clustering.

  From v4.x Equallogic firmware, there is an option advanced on each volume.

• Completed by TimesTen Server data store connection

  Hello

  I have a problem with an application to connect to a database, TimesTen, but the connection is being terminated by the server and I can't work the reason (error seems internal)

  In summary, the application reads the blocks of data of a schema performs a treatment and then writes the output to a separate schema.

When the read operation becomes more complex (reading subdashboards using an IN clause, the JDBC connection reported that the connection is broken that the server came out unexpectedly. )

  How this increase as a SR or searching through the existing SR and TimesTen bug reports?

  Thank you

  Hi Ben,

  Yes, the TimesTen server is blocked because of an internal assertion failure. My suggestion would be to first try upgrading to the latest version of 11.2.2.6.x because it has many corrections of bugs compared to 11.2.2.4.1 which is pretty old now. If this does not resolve the problem, then you need to open an SR via My Oracle Support. You will need your CSI to do so and it should cover TiemsTen (i.e. you must have TimesTen covered as part of your Oracle support contract).

• Question about server failure and data migration store

  Hi guys,.

  I just KVM/QEMU on Ubuntu Server and CentOS using Ovirt area of expertise VMWare ESXi is an easy to fall into the domain but I have a question for Server (Host) / relationships of data store. At the moment I have 6 ESXi running on a Dell server and use the local storage in the data store. I am limited in storage in this way so I thought I'd do a NAS or SAN, cost dependant, to expand my storage levels but I'm not sure of some things, but this one being the most important. If I use the server as a host of stand-alone and everything stored on NAS or SAN, storage in case the server fails and needs to be replaced can I use a new server and in the case of new installation of ESXi and use the existing database as nothing has happened or is it possible?

  Thank you

  Yes, it will work. By default the virtual machines consist of a bunch of files stored in a folder, and as long as you use the same (or a newer version) version ESXi - i.e. a data store format supported - you will be able to access these files.

• How to span multiple LUNS on one (or less) data store (s) in Vmware ESXi 4.1 vSphere environment?

  Hey guys -.

  I currently have 2 hosts ESXi (version 4.1u3), 1 vCenter Server and 1 EMC VNXe3300 SAN (20 to via iSCSI) that make my virtual environment.

  On the EMC is, you create VMware Datastores (which have a limit of 2 TB) then connect these data storage to VMware ESXi hosts.  Once logged in, would continue it the process through the Add Storage Wizard via VMware to connect the disk/LUN storage via iSCSI.  Ultimately, the Lun (s) would then be accessed through the virtual environment (in the Configuration > storage > data warehouses) as generally expected.

  Due to the limit of 2 TB (both on the CEM, Version of VMware and VMFS3) on data warehouses, I find myself with having several data warehouses being created on the side of the EMC and VMware (see photo) appearance.  I know that's not rectifiable via CEM level, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to bring together all these data stores on the side of things VMware.  This way rather than navigate to Configuration > storage > data warehouses and separate iSCSI indicator 6 data warehouses, it would just be a (or more, but less than the existing) data store; It would then extend in all actual data stores that I would.

  I don't know what the appropriate terminology is used to describe it, but I hope someone can help me to what I want to achieve.  Or at the very least, can you please steer me in the right direction.  If this isn't something that can be achieved or it is discouraged, what are the other options which would be recommended?

  Thanks for the help.
