• Copying files from a web server to the VMFS data store

  Hi everyone I have a little trouble working it.

  I say a file on a Web server http://webserver/important.txt and I want to copy this file in a local data store.  I am able to copy the file from the Web server to the server I'm running PowerCLI, and then to the data store, but I can't work on how to copy directly.

  Any ideas?

  As far as I know, the Copy-DatastoreItem cannot handle this. The cmdlet requires a path to the Item parameter.

  You will need to first create a local file and then copy in the data store.

• Relocation of the unusable VCenter Server after data store

  I needed to move the VCenter server only US planes of the DataStore has located on SAN1 to B data store located on SAN2 because we were retiring SAN1. After connecting directly to the VMhost which housed the vCenter Server VM, closing the vCenter Server and remove the vCenter Server inventory, I scoured data store A and moved the server vCenter to B data store directory. "After the copy is completed, I added the back inot inventory of vCenter Server, it works, toldi it"I moved"and received an error message indicating the file vCentersrvr.vmdk ' was absent.

  A review of the content directory for vCenter data store b shows no vCentersrvr.vmdk, but rather lists a file called vCentersrvr - flat hard. The type of file, the file is listed as "file". I tried to rename this gall and turn on/off the VM, but still no luck. Here are my questions:

  1. Can I save this installation? The original directory no longer exists (it was deleted automatically after the copy of the file).
  2. If I can't save this installation, can I just rebuild a new vCenter Server and Add (2) hosts that are currently managed by the vCenter Server server has failed?

  There is another method to recreate the descriptor VMDK files. http://www.phdvirtual.com/VMDKstubgenerator

• Failed to create data store on LUN ISCSI

  Get the following error when attempting to create a new data store after a new installation of ESXi 5.5U2.

  Location:

  • UCS B200 servers using the VIC-1280 map and
  • Interfaces ISCSI connected directly from the fabric of interconnection to the NetApp FAS2552 with TwinAx cables
  • MTU is set for extended frames (9000) on the interface of NetApp, vNIC for ISCSI vKernel vSwitch and group interface ports
  • During the initial setup of the vSwitches, I forgot the MTU setting Port and interfaces group wouldn't even ping, so all the MTU setting are good
  • ISCSI connection is green and LUN created and present storage warehouses are considered as available on the ESX Server to create a data store (sizes 1 TB and 2 TB tested times)
  • The NetApp storage have been created as a thin provisioned and thick provisioned - neither works and gets the same error

  

  Any ideas would be very useful. Technical support has not yet responded.

  Thanks in advance.

  OK, after working with NetApp and VMware on a conference call (after both made each other) bottom line "fix" was to remove the iSCSI port bindings, remove broken paths, remove the vSwitches and rebuild again.

  1. create vKernel vSwitch with appropriate port group

  2. set the MTU to 9000 on the port group and vSwitch

  3. create the bindings for each interface iSCSI Port

  4 re-scan

  5 successfully create the data store

  Oddly enough, I had to repeat this process 3 times for one of the blades, but it worked the first time for 3 other involved blades.

  VMware technical support did provide the following as a look at the LUN of the CLI:

  1. / vmfs/devices/disks cd

  ls-l

  We see and out of all the available discs

  Identify the Lun Naa.xxxxxxxx

  2. run the Naa.xxxxx reported in step 2

  partedUtil getptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.xxxxxxx

  If there is a partition, you might see something similar to

  1 63 2249099 131 128 > 1 is the partition number

  or

  You can see and error, if error please contact technical support

  3. If there is partition, you can delete

  partedUtil remove /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.xxxxxxx 1

  NOTE: This process did not work, but is still useful nonetheless. It could work if the LUN has been used by another operating system and need cleaning. But my situation was all greenfield.

• data store is not big as the player

  Hello

  I just install ESXi 4.1 update 3 on my fujitsu rx300 S3 with 6x500GB ground mounted in a RAID5 configuration, 2 x 1.6 Ghz XEON 5110 and 8 GB of memory.

  The ESX has been successfully installed except the data store: space it is not as big as the player: capacity data store 274 GB then as drive capacity 2, 5 TB.

  The VMWARE KB to extend the data store does not work: it did not drive LUN.

  I don't know how to extend the data store OR create a second, which will be accessible to another ESX.

  Thank you

  Limit is 2 TB less 512 bytes for ESXi 4.1, trying to remove a 500 GB drive in RAID 5 configuration and try to create the data store.

• Download a file from a local data store

  Hi all

  I was wondering if it is possible to generate scripts downloading a file from a local data store on a Windows Server? Also, there are scripts available to perform such a task?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Just guessed myself using the cmdlet copy-datastoreitem - good KB article here

  After the connection to your vCenter server, connect to the data store and mount the source as a PSdrive data store, and then use the cmdlet.  It also works well download a data store and the downloading of a data store: just spent around objects in - point and - Destination.

  At first glance, it seems that you need to know the source path of the data store.

  $dstore = get-datastore "YourDatastoreName"
  
  New-PSDrive -location $dstore -name dStore -psprovider vimdatastore -root '\'
  
  copy-datastoreitem -item dStore:\VMFolder\VMConfig.vmx -Destination c:\SomeFolder\vmconfig.vmx
  

• limitations of the data store

  I have a dell with esxi Server installed. the internal data store is raid 5 totalling 2.4 TBS guidance. The esxi see the 2.4 together and says its available. I was under the impression that it should be 2.0 tb max. This makes 2.4 going to be a problem. I installed it forget the limitation, then remebers. but it seems ok. Please notify.

  You will only be able to use 400GO. Reconfigure the table and create disks of 2 or more logical to break to the top of the table.

• out of space on a data store, have great cliché to commit

  Through a series of automated tasks and bad luck, here's where I'm stuck.  looking for advice on the best way to fix it.

  ESXi server with the local data store

  A server (Blackberry server, not quite important and have a good backup, worst case I could rebuild without too much pain)

  • Slim 30 GB put in service

  Server B (Production and Production Exchange server file server):

  • 2 virtual drives

  • Drive hard 1: 80 GB thin provisioned

  • Hard drive: 500 GB 2 thick put into service

  • There is somehow a snapshot on this disk which is 196GB (which has a few things needed for this topic)

  • VSphere client does not show that there is a snapshot, but the navigation data store, it's there

  I am running very low on space (30GB free) on the data store.  I have a 1 TB NAS device (it is the NFS case) but it's mostly full with other backups of VMs whose only good backup from Server B that I would prefer not wipe.

  This snapshot will commit with what little free space?  If so, how given that vsphere client shows that there is no snapshot?

  Looking for pros for a good solution/order issues in.  I am of course headed out of town for a week and I hope the 30 GB I have free will last while I went, but will keep you informed along the way.

  In my opinion, there should not be any need a lot of additional disk space for deleting a snapshot on a thick disc put into service. To remove the snapshot, create another cliché on the virtual machine, and then open the Snapshot Manager and select "clear all". This will engage all snapshots on the basic disk, no matter whether they are displayed in the Snapshot Manager. Due to the size of the deletion my take several hours (depending on your speed of storage)

  With one snapshot, you have, it's no problem, but if there were several snapshots, you need to be careful, depending on the version/version of ESX (i) installed. Make sure you don't miss disk space during the validation process of the snapshot, because for example many changes to a thin provisioned VM. To be on save her side, you should do the deletion either while the virtual machine is not used much or - even better - while the virtual machine is turned off.

• How to UN Manual/Auto-Clenup, use the data store

  There are so many records in the data store that do not connect to any model, but still there is anyway that I have ran manul clenup?

  I check the datasotre and no doubt that the "length of the string' are '0' (I consolidate them) and no matter what clone a link on that particulat data store. When I log on to the server and check the data store, I see more than 50 files in 6VMs here and only in LM.

  Upon consolidation, I found that the LM has lost contact to esxhost very often, I have to manually restart the agent to get the connection works, is - what the cause of reason left old metadata in the esxhost and do not delete not come out correctly?

  The United Nations use forder delete directly in the vCenter?

  Yes.  Cut out the documentation:

  Garbage collection is automatic detection and release images that are no longer in use. Lab Manager does not immediately remove the files associated with a virtual machine.

  Lab Manager stores the virtual machine files in a tree of related related clones. Each pass of the garbage collector involves an attempt to delete the nodes that have no dependencies. Several passes over time may be required to free space associated with a virtual machine.

• Reactivate an offline nfs data store

  I have a server that starts faster than an nfs server and therefore this data store is inactive. Anyway to reactivate without restart or recreate?

  Thank you!

  JLC

  I'm not sure that this can be done without having to reboot the host or remove and re-add the NFS share.  Basically, if you drop in the limited service console, you will see that ESXi errors of entry/exit on the NFS share (as a "stale NFS Mount" UNIX-Land).  You can remove and add it again with the VI client, or if you have the RCLI (or are connected to the console not taken in charge, using esxcfg-nas to remove and readd):

  esxcfg-nas - d NFS

  esxcfg-nas - a o nfshost.company.com s/path/to/share LABEL

• Adding a vmx in a data store on VMWare Server 2 to VIX C API

  Is what is said in the possible title?

  Alternatively it is possible to add a store of data via the C API of VIX?

  No, you must first move the virtual machine to a directory in the data store before you can save it. VIX does not provide a way to move a virtual machine, but it shouldn't be too hard to move a directory in the operating system of your choice.

• Completed by TimesTen Server data store connection

  Hello

  I have a problem with an application to connect to a database, TimesTen, but the connection is being terminated by the server and I can't work the reason (error seems internal)

  In summary, the application reads the blocks of data of a schema performs a treatment and then writes the output to a separate schema. When the read operation is simple (a table only reading), it runs without error. When the read operation becomes more complex (reading subdashboards using an IN clause, the JDBC connection reported that the connection is broken that the server came out unexpectedly. )

  The tterrors.log file contains the following error information:

  Any ideas what's going on (short-term memory maybe)?

  How this increase as a SR or searching through the existing SR and TimesTen bug reports?

  Thank you

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  Yes, the TimesTen server is blocked because of an internal assertion failure. My suggestion would be to first try upgrading to the latest version of 11.2.2.6.x because it has many corrections of bugs compared to 11.2.2.4.1 which is pretty old now. If this does not resolve the problem, then you need to open an SR via My Oracle Support. You will need your CSI to do so and it should cover TiemsTen (i.e. you must have TimesTen covered as part of your Oracle support contract).

• Data store space used not maching between VMWare and 3PAR

  Hello world

  I have a strange behavior between our environment VMWare and 3PAR storage system.

  I checked each data store of our cluster and for each of them, the space used in vSphere Client does not match the size of the user 'used' their volume associated with 3PAR.  The value displayed in VMware is higher.

  For example, our data store named DS03 has space around 1 TB in VMWare.  And when I checked in the Console of 3PAR, I see that the volume created for this data store has a size of the user 'used' 722 GB.

  While doing some research, I came across this post: ability to store data about the free space is not the same thing in VMware and 3PAR

  But the problem I encounter is quiet different. It's the opposite. I do not understand why the displayed value is higher in VMWare...  We are also running vSphere Server version 5.1.0

  Any advice? Ideas?

  Thank you very much.

  It's the ASIC 3PAR inline zero detection function stripping zeros of incoming data until they land on the disc. Www.3parug.com try this happens a lot.

• Data store 6.0 VMWare not recognized after the last batch of hotfixes installed on HP custom image

  Hello guys,.

  Maybe you can help me:

  I installed VMWare 6.0 on a server HP ML350 G9 with image OEM offered custom HP, ESXi - 6.0.0 - 2494585-HP - 600.9.3.30.2.

  This works perfectly.

  Now I am trying to apply the latest available official patch (ESXi600-201507001), but it seems to kill some important VIB

  VIBs installed: VMware_bootbank_esx - base_6.0.0 - 0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-lsi-mr3-plugin_1.0.0-2vmw.600.0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-megaraid-sas-plugin_1.0.0-2vmw.600.0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_misc - drivers_6.0.0 - 0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_sata - ahci_3.0 - 21vmw.600.0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_scsi - hpsa_6.0.0.44 - 4vmw.600.0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_scsi - mpt2sas_19.00.00.00 - 1vmw.600.0.0.2494585

  VIBs deleted: Hewlett-Packard_bootbank_scsi - hpsa_5.5.0.106-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820, LSI_bootbank_scsi - mpt2sas_15.10.06.00.1vmw - 1OEM.550.0.0.1198610, VMware_bootbank_esx - base_6.0.0 - 0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-lsi-mr3-plugin_1.0.0-1vmw.600.0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-megaraid-sas-plugin_1.0.0-1vmw.600.0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_misc - drivers_6.0.0 - 0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_sata - ahci_3.0 - 21vmw.600.0.0.2494585

  The next time I reboot the server, the data store is not available, no more and I have to do a restore. I suspect that the new bootbank_hpsa is the origin of the problem.

  So, how to install the latest patch without losing the data store connectivity?

  Thank you

  What should work, is to download the latest driver hpsa in the/hpq/latest/esxi-600-devicedrivers Indexand install it just after the connection of the host (prior to restart it). The .zip file contains a bundle off line as well as the .vib file.

• How to span multiple LUNS on one (or less) data store (s) in Vmware ESXi 4.1 vSphere environment?

  Hey guys -.

  I currently have 2 hosts ESXi (version 4.1u3), 1 vCenter Server and 1 EMC VNXe3300 SAN (20 to via iSCSI) that make my virtual environment.

  On the EMC is, you create VMware Datastores (which have a limit of 2 TB) then connect these data storage to VMware ESXi hosts.  Once logged in, would continue it the process through the Add Storage Wizard via VMware to connect the disk/LUN storage via iSCSI.  Ultimately, the Lun (s) would then be accessed through the virtual environment (in the Configuration > storage > data warehouses) as generally expected.

  Due to the limit of 2 TB (both on the CEM, Version of VMware and VMFS3) on data warehouses, I find myself with having several data warehouses being created on the side of the EMC and VMware (see photo) appearance.  I know that's not rectifiable via CEM level, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to bring together all these data stores on the side of things VMware.  This way rather than navigate to Configuration > storage > data warehouses and separate iSCSI indicator 6 data warehouses, it would just be a (or more, but less than the existing) data store; It would then extend in all actual data stores that I would.

  I don't know what the appropriate terminology is used to describe it, but I hope someone can help me to what I want to achieve.  Or at the very least, can you please steer me in the right direction.  If this isn't something that can be achieved or it is discouraged, what are the other options which would be recommended?

  Thanks for the help.
