The selected disk has already a VMFS data store. Select another disc

• Nobody knows the largest available space supported for vmfs data store when creating a new form of vmfs data store a 3T lun mapped from FC storage.

  I traced a form of lun 3 t FC storage.

  And the project to create a vmfs on this lun, creating, data store, space available by default is 1024 G, no 3 t, so I guess that maybe some limitations.

  Anyone know? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The limit is 2 TB - 512Bytes

  That 512 bytes is VERY important to remember.

  You will see that 1 TB as it roles once you exceed 2 tablespoons.

  As Anton suggested you can use two 1.5 TB LUN safely. However, you can in fact more than 500 GB LUNS or such. Will the LARGEST you can is not always the most efficient allocation of resources.

• First New - VM: an element with the same key has already been added.

  
  I get a strange error that I have seen a few other posts, but with no resolution (or at least one that I can find).  When you try to create a new virtual machine using the cmdlet New - VM, I get the error "an item with the same key has already been added."

  Now, here's the key that I've not seen many others to mention.  This ONLY happens on the first attempt for each new connection with Connect-VIServer.  I can create as many of the same machines that I want after that first mistake with the same settings (new name of course).  If I disconnect and reconnect again, the error appears for the first time.

  Normally with PowerShell, I have just to catch the error and be on my way.  However, in this case I use the parameter - RunAsync, so that I can capture the task that is returned in a variable.  From there, I use Wait-task until the virtual machine is complete before moving on with the script.  Everything works fine when the error occurs, but when it happens that the object of the task is not returned and the rest of her vomit script errors.

  I am running the latest version of PowerCLI and I tried this on PowerShell v2.0 and v3.0 and get the same results.  I tried different models and guests without success.  I also tried this with and without assistance - AllLinked on Connect-VIServer-bound mode.  I should mention that I am cloning model, by specifying a spec customization and host cluster data store.  Again, the only common denominator repeatable here is that this ONLY happens on the first attempt to use New - VM session to vCenter.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  I was informed that this is actually a "known" bug and a fix has already been planned for the release of the future code.  After getting the access to a beta version, it does not seem to be fixed in the next release.

• Please note that the quote/cart has already placed an order and cannot be changed.

  Hi all

  Currently, we are trying to create an order istore and doing so when you add an item to the cart, shopping cart throws the error "Please note that the quote/cart has already placed an order and cannot be changed. What happens with a single user. We created an order earlier and this was achieved convert quote to order. Now when we created a new this error pops up. Also, there is no record in the IBE_ACTIVE_QUOTES_ALL table for this user for any active carts.  Please provide suggestions. I cleared the cache bounced the server istore and disconnected and connected and always the question already exists.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Please confirm that there is no basket of assets

  Confirm the data in ibe_active_quotes_all

  SQL > select active_quote_id, order_header_id, quote_header_id

  of ibe_active_quotes_all

  where party_id = & partyid

  and cust_account_id = & cust_id;

  To get values-
  Select customer_id from fnd_user where user_name = ==> set to 1
  Select person_party_id in the fnd_user where user_name =
  Select object_id from hz_relationship where subject_id =
  Select cust_account_id in the hz_cust_accounts where party_id = ==> value 2

  Confirm the data are synchronized in citing it table aso_quote_headers_all:

  SQL > select order_id aso_quote_headers_all

  where quote_header_id = & from above;

  If a basket of assets is found, you can remove-
  delete from ibe_active_quotes_all where party_id = and = cust_account_id and record_type = "shopping CART";
  > This will remove the active cart of the user, so you can proceed to the next cart.

• promotion of iSCSI LUN with the VMFS data store

  Hello

  I moved an iSCSI on the website of DR SAN and fact volume so that it was accessible to the ESX host on the site of DR based on the IP address and made the new analysis of the adapter for iSCSI Software in the VI Client on the two hosts on the DR site and he discovered the LUN.

  I don't want to go to the Configuration, storage and add storage as this reformatted the volume and it has a VMware Server already on it running happily on the main site.

  How can I add the volume as a VMFS data store available on the two hosts as he is picked up automatically?

  Thank you

  Paul

  I guess it was a VMFS volume that was used by the ESX environment on main site you, Yes? If you have moved the LUN, i.e. the ESX hosts in the main site no longer have access so that the ESX host at the DR site do not have access, you will need to define EnableResignature = 1 under Advanced settings, LVM

  You restart the analysis for storage and you should access your VMFS volume. You will need to register your virtual machines with the new host.

  When complete set EnableResignature = 0

  Hi all

  I see a strange problem when you try to add a new disk to a virtual computer via powershell

• my daughter received a comp. from a friend that the hard disk has been deleted how to get windows xp back on it

  I downloaded windows xp from mirowsoft up to 6 discs of A which I just it ready for the cd of window xp I don't have.

  Hi cjoyner66,

  Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.

  I hope this helps!

  I have my serial number and that you wish to register online, but the message he has already been saved. How can I solve this?

  This version has been installed on a server that crashed last week. We just installed Adobe Acrobat professional on my PC and it says I have 30 days to activate it.

  Hi danneels,.

  Allows you to check with the guest would ask where its giving you information 30 days. on the right corner of this window, you will see the option "software license".

  Click this option, and then it will give you register in the window, use your credentials Adobe ID then check if it works or not.

  And for the State of serial number request would ask you to go ' adobe.com/getsupport' & it launch a chat session using 'still need help contact us' after following the instructions on the screen. The representative of cat will help you with this using tools

  The term 'Get - VM' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or an executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path has been included, make sure the path is correct, and then try again.

  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  OK, I was kind of what went wrong here.

  The snap has been loaded from a powershell module. When the module is removed and added again, the snap ceases to function, but also can not be added again.

  If the snap is loaded first outside the module everything works fine until you try never to remove or add snap-in module.

• PowerCLI - an element with the same key has already been added ERROR

  Hello

  I opened a case with VMware on a problem using PowerCLI. And pretty well, they said that they do not support scripts... But the error is not related to any script. It is related to the first command I run against one of our Vcenter and we have 6 of them.

  Everything worked well until we went from 4.1 to 5.1

  I can connect to our VCenter fine, but the first command always give an error and fail to the powercli but the task still occur in vCenter.

  When it gets ugly, is we have several powershell script to maintain and automate our environment but now these script fail.

  Example, we have a script to deploy the VM model and then configure the appropriate hardware configuration and add Notes and custom attributes. But the script fails after that deployment so the rest will not run. It will be possible that deploy us to the first virtual machine.

  So for 'Band-aid' question, I added a line to my script to start a virtual dummy machine, to make sure that what is in the script will work fine.

  Error:

  PowerCLI C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI > start-vm vm - Server-m46

  Start-VM: 2013/06/26 11:57:05 Start-VM an element with the same key has already been added.

  As far as I know, done to the PowerCLI VMware supports.

  I don't think they support the client script debugging, but the product PowerCLI itself is supported.

  I created a few calls myself in the past.

  What you see is a known problem, there are a few discussions in this community who has something similar.

• Size = size of the VMFS data store VMDK?

  Is it possible to create a single vmdk equal to the size of a vmfs data store he created in or is it a load element used by vCenter/ESXi.

  I am using vSphere 4 and VMFS data warehouses are in format VMFS 3.33.

  You can't if it is the main drive of a virtual machine and the virtual machine configuration files etc receive on the same data store as the virtual machine directly to the output that the bat will need extra space for a brief amount. For a data reader, this should be possible since there should not be any files will use the space.
