Too many data stores appearing during the creation of Prot Grp

I have a problem when you create a new protection group in SRM 4.1.

Background:

I am trying to protect only 2 virtual machines (vmsql 1 and vmsql2) that are on the same data store (datastore5). However when I run the new protection Group Wizard, srm trying to protect the 2 vms above on datastore5 AND 4 other data warehouses (and their virtual machines).

This "behavior" is usually because a virtual machine was a 'link' to another store of data EG one or more of its VMDK resides on other data warehouses or he has a link to CD with an iso on a different data store.

I checked the 'change settings' vmsql1 & 2 and all their VMDK (and RDM) are on datastore5 and there is no CD of iso connection.

I went through datastore5 and the only files / folders on datastore5 for vmsql1 & 2 (except hidden for distributed switch folders).

I looked at the other VMS (I don't want to protect) to see if they have all the settings for CD or vmdk linking them to datastore5 and there is nothing obvious.

So my question is... Whats connecting these other 4 data warehouses to datastore5?

I: vc restarted on both sites, rebooted srm on the two sites, reanalyses berries from srm on both sites and re-analyzed VC (in two places), data warehouses also led lsof and ls - la on the esx hosts, but nothing unusual turns

More info: vmsql1 and vmsql2 have been passed to datastore5 recently - off voltage and storage-vmotioned on datastore5

Hello

No doubt those LUNS are part of the same group of coherence on the storage array.

When MRS. detects a consistency group, it places all of its LUNS in the same group of data store.

    Installation of xp and blue screen of death

    Hello

    I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

    How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

    Impose a HAL

    To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

    1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:

      Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

      Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

    I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

    Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.

  • Reference Dell backup and restore - "an error occurred during the creation of the backup of the system"

    I have a Dell XPS-8700 running Windows 7.  I bought the Dell Backup and Recovery Premium Edition.

    I was able to create a backup bootable (hot spare), and I can create a backup of data on my external hard drive.  However, whenever I try to create a backup on my external hard drive system, after about three seconds in the process, he returned: "an error occurred during the creation of the backup of the system.

    How can I create a backup of the system?  Why I get this error?

    Thanks for all the info. My situation sounds very similar to yours.

    I removed using Add/REMOVE programs in the control panel DBR and he removed cleanly.

    V1.7.1.2 downloaded and executed new facility.

    When I ran, it was my premium license key so he had yet to register and was not removed by uninstall.

    As before, Rescue Disk ran and installed the new partition (DBR_BOOT) on WD Passport.

    However, backup system immediately stopped with disconnected, missing target location or full. Tried several times...

    In any case, sounds like you have solved your problem, so you like OP should this brand this post/thread as answered. I will continue to post on my other thread.

  • Expansion of data store which is the best way?

    Hi all

    I want to help you on the extension of a data store. I have a HA cluster with three hosts (5.5 ESXi). the army actually share a single data store where all the virtual machines to run. the data store is created in a midsize V3700 storage ibm. the host is connected with the CF. But I want to extend the ability of the data store. I think that it is possible to do this in two ways:

    -creation of a new volume of the midsize IBM and by mapping it to all the host then developing the data store for the new LUN (extension) created.

    -expanding the existing volume of storage IBM midsize directely. While it is the ability to store data directely is increased.

    I need your help because this cluster runs mission critical VMs. Also, I read in VMware documentation that it is not recommended to use more than one number of logic unit by the store of data that each data store should be in a separate logical unit number.

    How would you propose?

    Can you do the manipulation without stopping the virtual machines?

    I'm not familiar with the storage system you use, but these storage systems are generally several controllers that can be owners of LUN presented to the hosts. With the help of only one data LUN/store you are actually 'wasting' performance, then you can consider to introduce a different unit number logic with the second controller of storage as the owner LUN and create a second data store for your virtual machines.

    Regarding resizing datasore. With ESXi 5.5 there is no more need to use extensions, i.e. to present another logic unit number and add it to the existing data store to increase its size. You can simply increase the LUN size up to 64 ~ to, rescan storage on your ESXi host adapters and then increase the size of the data store in the Properties window.

  • Get the error during the creation of the type of the Schema element variable

    Hello world

    To create a variable of type of schema, I do the following steps...

    Select 'Variables' after right-clicking on the bpel process. IN this window, go to 'Create VAriable' then select 'Element' type. Now in Type choose, I expanded the my imported schema files. And selected a type of item, and then click ok to create this variable. I get the message...
    TO SAVE ANY WSDL/SCHEMA FILES, YOU MUST HAVE A PARTNER LINK LOCATED IN THE DIRECTORY OF THE CURRENT PROJECT.

    Which is to say by whom.
    I imported the schema files in the project. After that I imported in the WSDL file also. Now why I am getting error during the creation of the variable. However, I can create variable directly in. BPEL file, then everything is fine. And it works too. But what is average with the error above? Why I am not able to create the variable via GUI?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I have this same problem this morning, and I was going crazy, until I found this Web page on the internet:

    [http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process | http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process]

    The idea is that the jdeveloper is not very good with directories with spaces to work on the directory name. If you move all your work in a directory without spaces, it will work smoothly. At least, it worked for me.

  • Data store missing after the reconstruction of the raid array

    One of the players in my raid array has failed a few days ago.

    I had a spare drive in the table so the controller immediately began the process of rebuilding and all servers were running throughout.

    When the reconstruction has been completed (I checked this via the user interface of raid array and the newspaper), I had to stop the server to remove disc defective (not replaceable chassis hot) and when I restarted the server, the data on the raid array store isn't there anymore.  I also checked through the raid controller interface that I removed the (defective) drive and that the table was always in a ready state when he came.

    In vsphere client, when I click on the storage... Add link, the server sees the material but if I click then it tells me that it will be re - format the volume.  See attachment.  I have most certainly does not take the next step and reformat.  Simply, I took the screenshot and regularized.

    I found these instructions, but they are for an older version of ESXi and am unsure if they are correct for ESXi 6.0.0 338124

    Here are the steps I should follow?

    Thank you

    Hi ThompsG,

    Yes, there are two data stores for the virtual machine located on the RAID array.  The virtual machine itself was stored in a different data store that was not in the raid array.

    I spent about 48 hours last week, including this morning, trying to coax ESXi recognizing volumes, with no luck.  Finally, I gave up and I removed the virtual computer hard drives that were on the corrupt data store.  Then the virtual machine came without problem.

    Finally, since I have everything on these 2 volumes backed up to a cloud provider, I have recreated the two data stores in the raid array and began the restoration process. It is currently running and has about 16 days left to go.

  • Increase the capacity of data store, which with the block size?

    Hello

    I am trying to expand my datastore 2 TB, I added a new lun 2 TB of the FC SAN TB 4 even and there is no problem adding this in the existing data store.

    But the existing data store is formatted in VMFS3 with a block size of 4 MB for a maximum file size of 512 GB. But when I try to extend the data store to select the size of the block is set to 1 MB and disabled.
    The measure automatically takes on the size of the original block or wil he get a block size of 1 MB? There are some > 256GB files on the existing data store and I think I'd get a strange behavior, if half of the data store is 4 MB and the other half is 1 MB blocksize.

    Can anyone confirm that the blocksize wil be the same for the measure?

    I can also make a second warehouse 2 TB one manually fracture the virtual machine on 2 data warehouses. is there any advantages or disadvantages to this approach?

    Don't you worry, add an item to an existing data store certainly will not change the size of the block. In any case, if it is an option that you can use two data warehouses, I would. With two distinct data warehouses that you will not only be able to spread the load on each of these LUNS but also avoid the complexity. With ESXi 5 (VMFS-5), a single LUN can grow up to 64 ~ to without needing extensions.

    BTW, a 4MB block size allows 1 TB less than 512 bytes.

  • What best practices to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store

    Hi all

    This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?

    I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?

    Thank you all

    Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.
