  How would be migration of VMDK script all store data in another data store.

• Unable to scp - r of the local data store a host to another data store local host

  Using PuTTY to connect to the host server

  Running command to copy VM to a data store to another data store (the two DS hosted locally on 2 different servers)

  Error: are different major versions of Protocol: 2 vs 1

  -J' tried confirmed that the only protocol on two host servers are defined in Protocol No. 1 and as I use Putty I have the Protocol in 1 also, but the same error occurs.

  II

  1 - Check the SSH configuration on both sides and compare... (/ etc/ssh/sshd_config)

  The remote server will only accept v2 connections and you try to do

  a connection v1. So either enable support of the v1 on the remote side. Or use

  keys v2 and id_rsa/id_dsa.

  2. check the versions ESX & patch level you used on both sides (ESX 3 xx build xxx)

  3 - also, you can check ssh version of protocol running rpm - qa | grep openssh.

  Good luck!

• Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store

  Hello

  I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick.  I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store.  I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.

  I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc.  I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.

  Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  You will need to use the API method, see for example Re: using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store

• Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

  Hi all

  Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

  Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

  Require some VM downtime?

  Thanks in advance a ton.

  Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

  1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

  2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

  3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

  When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

  Hello

  On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.

  To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?

  If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.

  Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

• VM to the another data store

  Can someone tell me how I can move a virtual machine from a to another data store?  I get cold?  Or can it be done live?  I have esxi embedded and a san, equallogic for my configuration of vmware (with VMware infrastructure).

  SVMotion is the best way, it's a live migration.  You can do this through the RCLI or GUI.  For me, the graphical interface is better.

  Here's a good way for:

• Moving a disk of the user in another data store

  Hello!

  I have an office pool that is used by a few users and now I discovered, as i wan't to upgrade the user drives my Netapp file server to use snapshots on them. Is there a way to move a disc of the user to its current location on the same os drive data store was a new data store?

  I know that I can put in place a new pool, but let the user discs when I do this, so this isn't an option.

  Anyone know how I can keep my user records, moving them to another data store?

  Currently a UDD cannot be moved the data to be backed up and restored. Alternatively, you can also turn on roaming profiles have the connection of the user in two places, once everything is in place, turn them off.
