vRA - nic virtual disks are deleted

• Dell virtual disk are larger. You want to increase the size of the data store.

  Hello

  I started the implementation of a server ESXi 5.5 Update 1 this week. I didn't know Dell shipped the server with two virtual disks instead of one. I realized this _apres_ that I had already created the data store and setup a few virtual machines to the breast. I called Dell who sent specific instructions to increase the removal of the second (empty) virtual disk and add it to the main. In the end, I increased the single VD from 2 TB to 3 TB and I want to give the remaining space in my store of data.

  I tried to follow the article here that explains how to do this via the CLI.

  Well, he did not altogether. Fortunately, I was able to recover my datastore my setting start and end sectors to their original numbers. But I'm still left with this almost 1 TB of space that I can not attribute to the data store. After that I reread storage adapters in the client, the new Dell disk size resulted under measurement devices. Click on "increase...". ", generates the following error which led me on the way to the CLI method:

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryAvailableDisksForVmfs" to object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '[myservername]' failed.

  I will paste my notes that I took everything by jobs. Things have exploded the rails when I put 4 partition size to the largest size. Any help, please?

  I use that as a guide:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2002461

  
  

  1 use start hardware device management tools to increase the capacity of additional disk to the device. For more information, commit your hardware provider.

  This has been done. The new size of the virtual disk is 2791,88 GB (TB 2,79188)

  
  

  2. open a console to the ESXi host.

  Pretty simple.

  
  

  3. get the DeviceID for the data store to change.

  ~ # partedUtil getUsableSectors "/ vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a".

  1 5854986239

  This means that we want 4 Partition of "naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a" to be:

  8 resize the partition containing the target VMFS Datastore using the command partedUtil, specifying the original existing partition and the desired end sector:

  Using the above information, our command is:

  resize # partedUtil ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a ' 4 13711360 5854986239

  
  

  9 step 8, the partedUtil command can report the warning:

  He did not. Displacement.

  
  

  10. the tables of partitions have been adjusted, but the VMFS data within the partition store is always the same size. Now there is an empty space in the partition where the VMFS data store can be grown.

  
  

  11 launch this v vmkfstools command to perform a refresh for VMFS volumes.

  Fact.

  
  

  12 reach the VMFS Datastore in the new space using the command - growfs vmkfstools, specifying the partition containing the VMFS Datastore target twice.

  vmkfstools - growfs ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a:4 ' ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a:4 '.

  
  

  It did not work. I got an error:

  Update:

  Since it was such a new machine, not in active production, we have safeguarded the VMs management off the ESXi host. Then flattened the virtual disk, recreated, and then created a store of data with the right size. (TPG this time, naturally.) We put the management of virtual machines on the data store. For Windows virtual machines, we have restored the using AppAssure. Everything is ok now.

  Need to add a new item to the list of punch: check what Dell has done the configuration of the virtual disks. :-)

• MD1000 attached to MD3000. Virtual disk not on the preferred path

  Hello

  I have a MD3000i box connected to 2 boxes of MD1000, these are connected to a Dell Power Vault Storage server 2003 running.

  Last night I connected the 2nd MD1000 and added in 25 TB of drives worth. I had initially hurt mapping the new virtual disk after 20 minutes or so, I noticed that I had shot the Ethernet cable plugged into the Module Raid 0 by mistake. I plugged it back in and was able to map the drive and started the initialization of disks.

  I came this morning to check how everything is done and found an error on the table. Disk not on favorite virtual path, preferred owner: at location 0 RAID Controller Module. Current owner: Module to slot 1 RAID controller. Group MD1000_2 of disc. Ramdisk: Virtual4.

  Now, it seems that influence the new virtual disk that I created. I checked the path virtual disk property and all the other virtual disks are using path 1 and try that I created to use channel 0.

  The virtual disk seems to be working for the moment it is detectable and to initialize itself in the area of operations of MDSM. I'm under pressure to get the space of storage as soon as possible, so I can't really afford to have to blow the virtual disk and restart the initialization. I'm hoping a simple reboot of the storage array will cure the problem, but I guess I can't do so until the end of the initialization of the disks. I could also remap the path to the virtual disk, but I saw online that it does not solve the problem, and I always have to wait until the initialization is complete.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I deleted the disk group and created a new one that even once, did not help even after that I tried to change the path. I deleted again and created a new and then changed to RAID 1 controller quickly while he was still on the controller 0 (before it came with the failure of the path) as the preferred path that has cleared the error. There must be a mistake with the controller or the wiring to it.

  Thank you

• "The virtual disk parent has changed..." "after removing a few shots

  Hey!

  I'm using VMWare Workstation and deleted a few shots via the Snapshot Manager. I used a .vhd Image from the Microsoft Site (Windows Server 2003, x 86). VMWare has created a link to this image at the beginning. I was working on this virtual machine for 2 weeks.

  Now, I have deleted 2 snapshots, including the first snapshot. When I try to start all the existing snapshots the error which is entered in the subject line of this discussion. Detailed error explains that his "cannot open disk 0 - 0000004.vmdk or one of the snapshot disks it costs on.» Reason: the virtual disk parent... »

  How can I access any of the existing snapshots in the future? I read that it is necessary to open the virtual disk images and change the CID of this disk image virtual to who should be the one parent. But how do I edit these virtual disk in windows vista? I have no command line tool that extracts only the first 20 lines of a file so that it will be impossible for me to open a vhdk with 600 or 700 MB. Another problem is that (I don't know why) my virtual disks are splitet in so many parts (I said at the beginning that the virtual disk must be a file, but I think splitet VMWare Workstation it because she had to be converted to .vhd (Microsoft) .vhdk... might be?)

  Here's a screenshot of my file of VMWare this virtual machine sorted by type and sorted by size (for a better overview, I think):

• Delete virtual disks now SATA CD ROM drive is not BOOTABLE: R510

  Im a novice admin with poor patience and I think I screwed up majorly on reinstalling OS 2008r2

  I thought I'd create a RAID by enabling it in BIOS and by removing all the virtual disks in the PERCs300 GUI.

  BIOS not installed no. found virtual disk. is now what I get, and when I try to boot from a DVD I get nothing.

  So please help out a NOOB who is now fearing a long and painful Sunday night at work...

  PowerEdge R510, probably firmware BIOS looking for who can be flashed in order to move forward and use SBUU to install windows 2008 r2

  ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT AND AMAZING KARMA EVENTUALLY YOU!

  Hello

  pachany.IT

  I thought I'd create a RAID by enabling it in BIOS and by removing all the virtual disks in the PERCs300 GUI.

  BIOS not installed no. found virtual disk. is now what I get, and when I try to boot from a DVD I get nothing.

  Mode SATA to ATA in the system BIOS. Who controls the RAID S100 controller that is part of the system chipset Board. It should not be set in RAID mode if you are using a S300 controller; Which is a version of the PCIe controller card.

  After getting set correctly, you should have an option when you start to get into the BIOS of the S300 controller. Press the combination of keys and enter the BIOS. Configure your RAID array and output.

  After that, you must be able to boot directly to the output of the DVD 2008R2 and complete the installation. If she doesn't always detect not storage then the SBUU start to complete the installation.

  If you need help more then provide more information. For example, if you have just installed this S300 then you maybe not it wired correctly. Learn more about your situation means I have to make less assumptions when it provides a response.

  Thank you

• Deleted virtual disk file and data store, just want to boot OS now.

  So I had a VM win7, and I added a virtual disk on a new data store.

  The new drive came out fine on windows as a new drive, and I was able to format etc.

  Now I basically unplugged all the system and booted Linux instead of ESX and ran all over the disk on which was my data store.

  Then I started in vmware and saw that the Windows VM was in a State of 'suspended' and if I try to take it back, he complains the missing disk file.

  "

  Reason: The system cannot find the specified file.
  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/504e6c8a-b20d8bfd-1768-001e674dda97/win7/win7_1.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
  VMware ESX can not find the virtual disk "/ vmfs/volumes/504e6c8a-b20d8bfd-1768-001e674dda97/win7/win7_1.vmdk". Check that the path is valid and try again.

  "

  But it does not successfully. I tried to change the settings to remove the ' disk hard 2 "of its devices, but which is disabled since I assume that the virtual machine is suspended."»

  I don't like on the virtual disk or any data on this subject, I have need to be in windows - I want to just start in

  Is it possible to get out of this State without having to remove the entire virtual machine and re - install windows?

  Thank you!

  > and started instead of ESX Linux and ran all over the disk on which was my data store.

  Sorry - that "ran the disk" mean exactly?

  to get rid of the suspended state - delete the VMS, as well as all the VMS file references in the vmx file

• What are the steps to create, format and install a new virtual disk in Windows

  I swear I've scoured the Internet for days trying to find the details of this process, and I'm embarrassed to have failed in my quest to understand what I must be a very simple thing.  The best I can do is this:

  Step 1: Create a new vmdk using vmware-vdiskmanager

  Step 2:?

  Step 3: Get your vmdk newly formatted using vmware-mount, or using "Map Virtual Disk" of the Workstation option

  Now, you will see that somewhere between step 1 and 3, it is an essential step of the new vmdk format so that it can be recognized and mounted.  Simply, I can't find any example online how to do this.  I just know someone will say "just attach to a virtual machine and format her", to which my answer is "how?  It won't let me get an unformatted disk.  When I try to go directly to step 3 after step 1, I get the following error, "error reading volume information.  Please select another file to disk.

  Add the button.

  Select "hard drive".  Follow the instructions in the wizard.  At the selection of create new floppy or use existing, select "Use an existing virtual disk" and find the vmdk file, you have created.

• He had to fix virtual disk

  When I try to delete a snapshot I get the message: "there is ERROR WHILE TRYING to DELETE the SNAPSHOT impossible to clean deleted files: the specified virtual disk needs to be repaired" I had this problem for a long time and nobody seemed to be able to help me.  The biggest problem is that now I get the error message: "THIS VIRTUAL MACHINE HAS MORE THAN 100 SHOTS IN a SINGLE BRANCH OF ITS SNAPSHOT TREE if you take several shots of the VM in this branch, the guest operating system may not start again.  You must delete some shots or make a full clone of the virtual machine"when I use the 'dismantling' to try to remove snapshots there is only 1 shoot snap it (not more than 100) and it won't let me not even delete this one - I get the message on repair the specified disk!  If I'm better to do a clon full I can find how to do but I think the best thing would be to locate more than 100 pictures and delete them. Help!

  For those following this thread that the resolution is down to use TeamViewer to establish a connection and after reviewing the State of the existing virtual machine and its file structure, we used a copy of the original disc base within the whole of the existing Virtual Machine to create a new virtual and moved the Copy Machine in the package of the virtual machine in order to keep everything bundled default normal Fusion Virtual Machine.  It had basically everything accept the current user data that will be saved out of the old Virtual Machine before it is deleted.  What makes it particularly easy to do's, is the original Virtual Machine was created in Fusion 1.x and had the VHD monolithic default and with the character size and the date and time this basic disk, all that is needed are Windows updates since the middle of October and current user data and it is so good to go and up to date.  So that made it very easy to decide to create an existing virtual machine from the base of the virtual machine disk and not even try to treat 100 orphans AutoProtect snapshots and just delete the now old Virtual Machine after it is in checked that all the user data has been retrieved.

  Also the appearance of things the situation that caused the problem has been the AutoProtect feature was still creating AutoProtect snapshots and do not delete as it should to in order to keep only the number defined when configuring this feature.  This not the first time I see a mess like that I firmly believe that it is caused by a bug in this feature.

  In any case Todd was nice to talk to you and help you with this problem.  Once you are sure to have your user out of the VM now old data, you can simply delete it like I showed you and also mentioned by oreeh.

• Acer Aspire V5 - 572G windows update, net and virtual disk problems.

  So I installed w7 x 64 ultimate on my laptop and notiiced windows update does not work. It shows that he can not connet to the server. After trying to fix it I discovered that I need to install net framework, which I tried, but he also failed because when I download the framework and before I press on install it shows me how much to download and it is 0. After I press on install it loads a little and it is said that he was not successful. Also tried to download some programs, such as driverpack, drivers search for and he found this lack gcdbusdevice and dcbusdevice im. When I tried downlaoding them, they seem not to exist. And when I try to install daemon tools or some simillar programs, it will fail to install, or fails to create a virtual disk, and after that the laptop can not stop lights. I have to use the restore point, and then he turns then on.

  So yes, some advice or help would be nice, thank you.

  Hello, GalaxyTechService.

  It is perhaps not as complicated as it may seem, in fact. There is a wizard that you can use to return the disk to the raid set. Right-click the affected virtual disk and select 'Replace physical disk' and use the wizard that opens.

  In the upper area will be "missing disks", and in the lower field will be options available to replace them.

  Then just follow the steps.

  Let me know how it goes.

• MD3000 cannot change virtual disk ownership / preffered path - ERROR 29

  PowerVault MD3000 (deleted by the moderator) - attached to two servers PowerEdge R610 using Dell SAS 5/e card in each r610. The R610s act as a host ESX VMWare ESXi 5.5.0

  We have created multiple LUNS on the storage array and noticed that traffice all happening through a RAID controller or another module (and it seems to me not change without prompting when you look at the storage Bay). I turned off a two different virtual machines to try to change the path and had an error with a certain delay - I stuck this error below. I also tried to redistribute virtual disks tab the MDSM software nothing works support.

  By reading, it seems that the LUN should be attributed to a particular raid controller before all I / 0, but I still feel like're missing us something as to why we cannot distribute the traffic properly.

  According to some records for a MD3200 -.

  "If the host has a path of data unique to the MD, the virtual disk storage array.

  That's what we're trying to accomplish. I don't know if the hosts are to be physically detached from the SAN, or if there is a bit of software to fail us.

  Hello MrRedPants,

  Since you are using a configuration not redundant you will have problems trying to modify the paths between the controllers since the two hosts have only a single connection to the MD3000.  What you could do if possible is to get 2 more SAS cables & connect ports second on the MD to RAID opposite that the host is currently connected to.

  Now, if this isn't an option so that you can make is to have 2 disk groups and assign the virtual disks / LUNS that are connected to each host in their own disk group.  If you go to each host their own groups of disks, then you will need to stop the e/s as you move the Ramdisk to the new group of disks so that you want to discard any data loss.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• creating a virtual disk of hybrid

  Dear Sir.

  I created a 1 TB virtual hard drive but there are sometimes deleted after that I restarted or shut down my system. Could you help me in creating a hybrid (VHD) virtual disk in the appropriate mechanism so that the data it will not be deleted.

  Check out this tutorial by Microsoft MVP: VHD - create in Windows 8

• More than 40 Virtual Disk-000... created the vmdk files

  In the host, under all my files, there are more than 40 hard of virtual disk files and it seems that the number becomes larger.

  I don't know if I should organize everything in one folder or remove them? (New to Fusion 8 Pro)

  They are counted as Virtual Disk-000... Vmdk, Virtual Disk 05.Marco - 000.001.vmdk, etc.

  I have attached a picture of what looks like this message.

  
  Thanks and much gratitude for any help!

  Hello

  You should not reorganize and certainly not to delete them.

  These files are your virtual disk. If you move or delete them as your virtual machine will get corrupted and the chances of data loss figure in your virtual machine or top.

  There is the possibility of having your virtual disk consisting of a single file. However, the thing is that while that may seem better on your eyes, it also means that common tasks like shrinking your disks or deletion of snapshots become more difficult.

  Rather than try to list all the reasons on what you are currently experiencing is the best way to have your virtual disk, I don't want to point you to this site:

  as this was a good list.

  Personally, I've removed "All My Files" from the Finder (uncheck in preferences) that I didn't like it and had nothing to do with the virtual disks. Down here, they don't show same under there.
