VM is unable to see on host vmfs datastore


I have 2 VM v.10 who are unable to see / connect to a vmfs on the host computer data store in the web client. The host is 5.5 and I have 2 other hosts and virtual machines that are 5.5/v.10, which can see the store of data very well and can be seen in vcenter 5.5 fine.  It is a utility data store shared between hosts on which conserve us resources of the ISO that was originally formatted on a host 5.1.

Figured this out, the new web interface can be difficult sometimes. As the data store was not already be available to the virtual machine, it was not available in the CD menu by default. I had to go in the settings of the virtual machine and click the browse option to access the data store. Once this had been done, it was visible through the menu of the CD.

  • Cannot add VMFS datastore to ESXi host

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the CF 1 logical unit number which can be seen as a device through several paths on all 10 hosts in a cluster, but it appear as a data store VMFS on 6 of the hosts. Other LUNS of the same Bay appear correctly on all hosts. 10 guests see the LUN with the same LUN ID and all hosts are identical regarding the version of ESXi (5.0 Update 2), HBA and firmware models.

    On the 4 hosts who can see the device but not the VMFS data store, it seems that he sees the LUN as a snapshot: 'list of snapshot storage vmfs esxcli' translates into:

    4f5e5cbb-a87cd2c6-86e9-d8d385f98034
    Volume name: LUN101_SAS2
    VMFS UUID: 4f5e5cbb-a87cd2c6-86e9-d8d385f98034
    Can mount: true
    Reason of mountability-United Nations:
    Can will: false
    Reason for non-resignaturability: the volume is actively used
    County of measure pending: 1

    The UUID VMFS above matches the UUID VMFS seen on 6 guests who can see the VMFS data store.

    When I try to use 'Add storage', the device appears with a lambel VMFS: LUN101_SAS2(head). I don't know why (head) was added to the label of VMFS. Oscreen n the following signature to keep 'existing' and "Assign a new signature" options are grayed out. The only option is "Disc Format. I need to keep the existing signature because it run virtual machines that have their files .vmx and hard on this LUN.

    Would the fact that I have virtual machines running on this LUN, I cannot choose the option to "keep the existing signature?

    I need to Storage vMotion these virtual machines to a different LUN before I add the VMFS datastore to 4 guests?

    TIA

    Hey RoscoT;

    Try the following command

    #esxcfg - volume - l

    This should show the volume

    To constantly increase the volume, use esxcfg-volume - M followed of the UUID or volume name

    Click Start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc

    You now see the hosts file?
    If this is not the case, try this:
    1. click on start go to run-->
    2. tap------(literally just a------and nothing else)
    3. press on enter
    4. click on Tools--> folder--> view options
    5. make sure that a small black dot appears next to 'display files and folders '.
    6. scroll down for 'show hidden files and folders' and remove the checkbox from "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system.
    7. click on 'yes '.
    8. click on 'Ok '.
    9. click on start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
    If you * see the hosts file now, right-click on it and make sure that there is no check mark 'read only' and 'hidden' boxes... If they are verified, then remove the check.
    Note: you should not have to perform steps 1 through 8 to view the hosts file; the hosts file is visible even with these settings, the default value (for example, when files are hidden you should always see the hosts file), but you may have a spyware infection that has tried the hide and prevent changes in the host file (to prevent you from making corrections in the file which made spyware)
    assuming that you have made any customizations to this file, it should appear as the default value listed in this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

  • Unable to see my registered mail items sent

    I m unable to see my emails saved in sent items in outlook express 6. But when I see the folder through my computer, there is a folder feels point (1) created by Outlook express 6, hw can I see this folder

    If you right-click on the folder in the folder list, and go to properties, it will tell you the name of the actual file that is used by the file.  It seems that if your sent items folder has been corrupted, then OE created a new appointed Envoy of the (1) items that I think he uses now.  The old file is probably corrupted and you need to extract the messages from it (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) or an extract of the entire disk to recover what was lost, if the messages are no longer in the file.

    To "solve" the problem for the future, click file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a base of empty messages that is not corrupted.  Then, when it does not work very well, go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.
