• Impossible to disassemble the data store

  Hello

  I am getting below error when I was trying to United Nations set up the data store.

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore" of object "datastoreSystem-15" on VCenter Server failed. ' "

  It seems there are two file inside the data store and I was not able to delete it also. This swap for old file
  models which does not exist now.

  Please let me know how I can remove this file from the shell of ESXi forcefully command so that I could not get the data store.

  Kind regards

  Check if it has deployed VM from this template and set the swapfile strategy to stay with the Virtual Machine. See also, if you are able to delete other files vswp with this command:

  
  rm - rf new model - 8d25d1fe.vswp

• How to UN Manual/Auto-Clenup, use the data store

  There are so many records in the data store that do not connect to any model, but still there is anyway that I have ran manul clenup?

  I check the datasotre and no doubt that the "length of the string' are '0' (I consolidate them) and no matter what clone a link on that particulat data store. When I log on to the server and check the data store, I see more than 50 files in 6VMs here and only in LM.

  Upon consolidation, I found that the LM has lost contact to esxhost very often, I have to manually restart the agent to get the connection works, is - what the cause of reason left old metadata in the esxhost and do not delete not come out correctly?

  The United Nations use forder delete directly in the vCenter?

  Yes.  Cut out the documentation:

  Garbage collection is automatic detection and release images that are no longer in use. Lab Manager does not immediately remove the files associated with a virtual machine.

  Lab Manager stores the virtual machine files in a tree of related related clones. Each pass of the garbage collector involves an attempt to delete the nodes that have no dependencies. Several passes over time may be required to free space associated with a virtual machine.

• TDSB import error "does not exist in the data store."

  I have a problem when you import a relative definition, do not know if it is to have a focus in the name.

• 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:

  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

• local storage in the data store

  I have 4 ESXi 5.5 cluster nodes (host1, 2... 5) + 3par storage, I noticed that the local drive of host2 is detected as a data store.

  When I create a VM and I choose the data store, I can see all data related to my on3par LUN stores but it seems this drive local host2 too!

  I would like to remove it! Can you offer me please?

  You must hide hide this data store using permissions, you must run the following procedure: Open-> inventory-> warehouses vSphere-> select the select data-> permissions VMFS store-> click the user or group in the list and set them to 'No access' - are not propagated.

• Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

  Hello

  I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

  Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

  Greg ~.

  If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

  I have re-iterate below checks:

  -No virtual machine is in the data store

  -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

  -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

  -IGCS is disabled for this data store

  -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

  Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store

• How to create the new virtual machine vm existing in the data store on ESXI

  I have ESXi and couple of virtual machines.

  I have the vsphere client on Windows 7.

  I then deploy the ovf from the vsphere client vm and it began to import my VM 30 GB.

  In the morning, I realized my vm with a vmdk file file has been transferred in the data store

  But I couldn't see any virtual computer.

  Now I don't know how to turn on this vmdk file that is in my data store

• The data store size is smaller than the virtual disk

  Just deploy a new installation of ESXI 4.1 rev3 on a new Dell PE R520 server with 4 disks 1 GB configured in a single Bay RAID5.  When I connect with vSphere and go to Configuration > it shows storage data store being just 740 GB.  However when I go to storage adapters and select the vmhba it shows the complete 2.73 CT of the RAID array that I need to use.  Nowhere I chose Go 740 for the size of the data store, so I don't know how it has been brought to this size.  If I try to delete and re-create 740 GB is the maximum I can create.

  What I am doing wrong and how do I create a data store that uses all 2.73 CT?  Screenshots are attached.

  Thanks in advance,

  Ben

  4 ESXi does not support LUNS > 2 TB.  Any increase on a multiple of 2 TB, it's what you'll see (e.g. 2.73 TB - 2 TB =.73 to ~ = 740 GB you see).

  But the real question is why you install version 3 year of the hypervisor?

• Combining the VM with files in the data store

  I apologize for the very basic question.

  I have a few ESXi servers and I need to associate each VM with the related directory inside the data store and each direxctory within the data with the associated directory store.

  With the command:

  SE connect-VIServer-Server 192.168.1.1 - user root - < password >

  I connect with the server.

  With the command

  Get - vm

  I get a list of all VM with the State and the amount of memory, the number of vCPU

  • How can I get path for each computer listed virtual, to the related .vmx file?
    
  • How to browse the data store, the list of the .vmx file and for each .vmx file, get the name of the associated virtual machine?
    
  • What manual download to find the emanations of the arguments of the command get-vm and qualifying?
    

  Concerning

  Marius

  The Get - VM by default displays a selection of properties.

  You can ask all the properties

  Get - VM | Select *.

  or some specific

  Get - VM | Select name, Description

  You can even access the real object of the SDK VirtualMachine

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="VMX; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Files.VmPathName}}

  PowerCLI comes with a data store provider.

  It is documented in the vSphere PowerCLI Admin Guide, which is installed with PowerCLI.

  With the provider, you can list the files .vmx on data warehouses.

  To find the name of the corresponding client, you will need to retrieve the DisplayName of the .vmx file field.

• Block size is too small - reformat the data store or create files VMDk 2?

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware and so far I absolutely love everything about her!  Well, I was not too happy when I realized that I can't create more than 256 GB a drive without reformatting the VMFS datastore.   Apparently, I accepted the block size of 1 MB by default during the installation...   I now need to configure a file server with about 500 GB of storage.  The data store with a larger block size (4 MB would be fine for me) reformatting is easy enough?  I am currently working on the first host ESXi 4.1 and will move to set up 2 more hosts in the coming weeks.  I read somewhere on the forum that ESXi 4.0 doesn't let you change the block size by default of 1 MB - is this true or relevant to 4.1?

  Currently, I have only 2 small VMs on that host, and these can be easily saved and put offline for a few hours, if necessary.  When starting the server, I created a single RAID array that holds ESXi and all virtual machines - does that mean that I have to reinstall ESXi in order to increase the size of the block?

  An alternative that I can get to is to simply create 2 255 GB VMDK each and load distribution of storage in the guest operating system (Win 2008).   Performance wise, is a disc more great and better (or worse) than the two smaller disks?

  On a related note, what should I choose for the "Independent" option when you add a new virtual disk?  Default is disabled (not independent).

  Your thoughts, focus and expertise are welcome and will be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Dothan

  Dothan,

  You should power (after the virtual machine backup) remove the current data store and create a new one with the new block size. I did not have this on ESXi 4.1 again, however, he worked on ESXi 4.0.

  The maximum size of VMDK. If you want ot be able to take pictures, make sure you subtract twice the size of block in GB of the documented maximum size.

  Block size 1 MB--> 254 GB (= 256 GB, 2 GB)

  Block size of 2 MB--> 508 GB (= 512 GB - 4 GB)

  Size of block 4 MB--> GB 1 016 (= 1 024 GB - 8 GB)

  Block size of 8 MB--> GB 2 032 (= 2 048 GB to 16 GB)

  André

  EDIT: Just the KB for the maximum sizes. http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1012384

• Empty folders "masters" and "clones" on the data store

  Clean an old data store, so I can get back to the place of SAN, I migrated all the models and virtual computers out of the data store (and deleted empty folders that leaves behind migration.  (Grrr...).  There are two empty folders left on this data store, called "clones" and "masters".  Nobody here knows how they got there, but they look like type system.  Anyone know if they are system files that may be moved or may be deleted?  (Screen attached)

  no system records, if they are empty it is safe to delete.

• Free space in the data store is lower we shouldn't

  Hello

  I'm under VMware ESXi on HP Proliant DL380 G5 server - the data store has a global capacity of 678 GB, with now 34 GB free. I have 5 VMs running:

  reader1/lecteur2

  (1) Win2k3: 50 / 100

  (3) Win2k3: 50 / 50

  (1) Windows XP: 10

  Oh - and the two models, one for the server (50) and a XP (10)

  Yesterday, I created a couple of clones of the XP, 1 with Vmkfstools - i and the other with vConverter - especially for the practice, but they are only 10 GB. Before my creations, free space read about 115 GB - then she got at the moment, I noticed 34GB. I deleted the two new virtual machines thinking I came home back from space, but no dice. Math is not my best subject, but this does not seem to add up. Do something wrong, I missed something?

  Is it possible to reclaim that space? Before I thought to check with you guys, it dawned on me that I could stop all VMs and restart the host, but if there is another way, I want to know it.

  Browse the data store - go to the "Home" view - inventory - data warehouses, click a data store, and then select Browse.

  Look in the subdirectory for each virtual computer and determine that seem abnormal large size files and total size of all files that exceed the size of the virtual disks assigned to the virtual machine.  If you specify then what are the names of the files a plan for how to get rid of them.

• How to retrieve the path of the data store

  I am writing a perl script using the API SOAP Labmanager to deploy several configs in Labmanger. After the deployment of the Config/VM, I want to interact with the virtual machines in each config file. To do this, I use the Perl API of VIX. My problem is that I need to know the path of the data of each virtual machine store as soon as it is deployed so that the VIX commands can be run on it.

  The script is multi-threaded. Each thread represents a configuration with a virtual machine.

  I know how to list all the warehouses of data for all registered virtual machines. The name of the virtual machine is not unique, so I can't analyze this list for this. Does anyone know how reliable to get the path of the data for a VM store knowing ConfigID/MachineID or MachineId combo? Ideal, I would be able to sometype of search the ID that will allow to obtain the path of the data store.

  I'm open to VI Toolkit, VIX, or anything else out there that will allow me to get this info (preferably using Perl).

  Thank you.

  I think that's maybe what you are looking for:

  Method LabManagerInternal.GetConsoleAccessInfo

  (public) MKSConsoleInfo GetConsoleAccessInfo

  machineId int

  );

  Parameters

  machineId

  It returns a type of object called MKSConsoleInfo that contains a VmxLocation value. When I tried through soapUI he gave me a valid path to the file in vmx to the machine_id that I went there
