VM shows always refers to the old data store after storage vMotion?

All the:

We have recently set up a SAN Equalogic and plugged into our environment vSphere. We are moving our VM to SAN storage, off the coast of local disk. After treatment of a virtual machine, we always show the reference to the old data store on the summary page when you look at this VM. However, when we look at the settings, HARD drive shows that the vmdk file is infact on the SAN?

Is there a reason why it would still showing upward for both?

Thank you

(1) check if the virtual machine has snapshots and maybe its pointing to the old datatore

(2) check if any ISO is mounted on the virtual machine to the old data store

    The .vmsn file contains binary data text, so you better not change it manually. The purpose of these files is to be able to return to his instant partner. Depending on the configuration of virtual machines in time you created the snapshot, the virtual machine may require access to the old data store to access the files and folders in there when you return to this snapshot.

  • Unable to recover the old data synchronization after reinstalling operating system

    Hello

    I was using Firefox 26. Recently, I've upgraded to the latest version. A few reasons, I had to reinstall my windows 7 OS.

    After I installed Windows 7, I installed the latest Firefox and tried to synchronize data. I was unable to connect because I forgot the password. I tried using the link "password forgotten", but he said there is no such thing as e-mail id. It was surprising to me. I'm still all emails, including the secret key, I used to add new devices earlier, since Firefox in my mail box.

    Since I left without another option, if I'm creating a new represent now on Firefox with old email ID. The account is created successfully. Again, it is strange to me. However, my old data are not synchronized.

    I need the old data. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Sorry, Sync was not intended to be used to backup Firefox data before reinstalling the operating system. Its purpose is to synchronize several separate installations of Firefox, usually on the various devices.

    The old version of Firefox 26 uses another version of Sync, the latest version of synchronization happen in Firefox 29. The largest variation in sync had to do with the recovery key ('secret key') - is no longer something to see the user or has to deal.

    You should have installed Firefox 28 or earlier and then connected to your account synchronization to recover your data and then put updated for Firefox 32. By creating a new account with the same email address, your data has been wiped out by synchronization servers to allow you to start a new.

  • Display of the VM in the incorrect data store

    Hello

    I have 4 data warehouses and I've migrated a few VM data (DS) to another store, but when I discovered the 'data warehouses' in client VI still the virtual machine appears in the list on the old data store.

    I have traveled the old DS and I can confirm no there are the virtual machine and the .vmx file points to the new location in the settings of the virtual machine, so why the virtual machine appears in the list of the old (source) DS?

    Do you have something (for example ISO) attached to the virtual machine that may still reside on the old data store?

    Review the vmx file (downloadable from the browser data store) and check that there is no reference to the old data store.

  • Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

    How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

    I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

    Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

    Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

  • Want the old data of Firefox, old PC died, new recovery keys will remove old data on server.

    I created Sync on my hard drive now unusable, with all my goodies of Firefox on it. I am now on another hard drive but when I try to set up the synchronization and recover my old data, he said that I need a recovery key. I can't get a so it generates one, but a new will apparently remove the old data that I want to do unnecessary synchronization. How to access my old data without a key?

    I was and am now running Firefox 28.0 on two hard drives.

    Hello, it is not possible to recover your old data sync without the recovery key, because the data is stored encrypted on mozilla sync servers and it's the only key to decrypt. If you have already generated a new recovery key and then also data on the servers was overwritten - so I'm afraid that this data is lost for good...

  • Help! Trying to write an array to a file without having to rewrite the old data each time.

    Hey everybody,

    I have a vi that takes a 2D array and writes to an xml file. The purpose for this is to characterize the pathloss through a matrix dowkey 10 x 10 to different frequencies. I use this program to create a table of correspondence for the switching matrix, so when I make one of my tests I can get an accurate measurment. The problem with this is that I take data points about 299 by combination of matrix switches leading me to data more than 32000 points in the lookup table. I use xml because each data point requires a header so I can analyze via the table of correspondence with another of my vi when I need that pathloss. What I'm trying to fix, is that when my vi wrote in a file at a time to save memory space, he wrote a single Bay. When writing, it rewrites the old data, and then the new data. As the number of points of data increase so does the time of latency of writing in the file. At the time wherever I am finished, it takes about five hours to completely write to the file. Does anyone know how to write about writing to a file without having to rewrite all the old data? Attached, it's my vi to write to the file, my vi for research in the file and an example of one of my tables in research.

  • Show of virtual machines on a data store when they are actually on another

    We strive to delete old data store and moved everything out of him, but we can't delete it. We get a message saying call 'HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore' of object ' datastoreSystem-11599 "on vCenter Server 'servername' failed. ".

    If I go into the store of data view it shows 2 VMs there but if you look at the location of their virtual disks they are on a different data store.

    One thing I noticed was that a cluster of virtual machines was ISOs attached to their CD players who used to be on the data store, we want to remove but are no longer there. I was able to detach all the but the 2 problematic VMs always show an attachment in the data store, even if I managed to detach the ISOs.

    I was able to use the removal of the option of inventory and he disappeared from the view of the data store, but as soon as I added it back he appeared on this data again store even if the files are on a different data store.

    In the screenshots, the data store we want is missing is called delete. I have read that sometimes you can rename it, and then it will allow you to remove it but no go for me. I also read that you can remove it to connect to a host and then remove it, but that didn't work. You can also see that there is no ISO standard attached plus.

    We do not take it apart.

    You are the man! There were snapshots on virtual machines, and I removed and now its all cleared up. Thank you.

  • Clone the virtual machine to the local data store

    Hi all

    I'm looking to automate a task daily (or almost) of my friends with a small script with powercli.

    I'm trying to "backup" or to clone a virtual machine, I work in a storage of one of our servers.

    The servers are managed by a 5.1 vCenter and the machine is on a shared storage.

    From time to time, I clean, stop the machine, remove all snapshots and clone the virtual machine to one of the local server as a backup storage. So I put together a small script which almost works. It works as long as the target data store is a shared storage, but not with a local storage.

    I get always an error that claims it can not access the local data store and is not a permissions problem...

    Given that I can accomplish this via the customer without problem I thought it is possible via powercli too, or I'm wrong?

    My Script up to now:

    # Variables
    $VC = "vc.domain.com" #vCenter Server
    $User = "domain\user" #User
    $Pass = 'test123' #User PW

    $BackupSuffix = "backup" #Suffix to add the name of VM to mark this as a backup
    $VmHost = "esx2.domain.com".
    $Datastore = 'ESX2-LocalData' #Datastore

    BTW, the clone step can be replaced by the New-VM cmdlet with the setting of the virtual machine.

  • alleged connection to the data store local preventing vmotion

    I have a VM that signals a connection to the local data store on its host, and therefore can't do vMotion elsewhere.  The virtual machine has two virtual drives, which are both on a SAN storage.  The virtual machine has been previously connected to an ISO on the local data store, but it has since been replaced by client device.  He always insists that he's using something on this data store, however.  I've looked through the vmx file and don't see any reference to it.  I also tried to remove the data store, but he claims that the file system is in use.  The hosts have been recently updated to esxi 6.0 U2, and it's the only VM that now seems this behavior.  Any suggestions on what could be the cause?  It is a server important enough in this environment, and be locked into a single host makes me a little anxious.

    Turns out it was because of an old cliché.  If you get an ISO from a data store and take a snapshot, the virtual machine will keep a link to that store of data even after changing the client machine.  As soon as you delete the snapshot, this relationship goes, and access to this database is therefore more a review when searching valid hosts.

  • DTS moves to the same data store

    Greetings,

    We are short v5.5u1 esxi and vcenter device with DTS clusters installation using thresholds to space only at this time. We do not limit our VM to place records on the same data and store, and in view of the virtual machine can have his records scattered across data warehouses in a cluster of the DS.

    We have many events that seem to do nothing is represented below.  Everyone agrees that something actually happens or vcenter turns his wheels?

    Thank you

    Ron

    Just answered my own question... it has to do with my scattered placement of vmdk. Since the vmx file lives on a given data store, the event shows that the activity... However if you check the DTS tab for the cluster data store you will find the disks associated with the virtual machine on other data warehouses were actually moved.
