• How to specify what data store for use with OVFtool

  It drives me crazy! Way that you specify what data store to use when there are several?

  I ran exactly the same command on a box that had a data store and it worked fine (as expected). He created the folder of the virtual machine to the root of the SD and then pulled on the virtual machine of the FVO. However, with multiple it just says not: no datstore target specified. I tried 1 million combinations of?-ds = with hooks, without. It is said to be sometimes found in the inventory. I guess that's looking for a folder. But this cannot be so difficult?

• 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.

• vCenter showing this vm in two data stores (a used display 0.00 B of 12.66 GB space)

  I have a couple of VMs that according to vCenter are present in multiple data stores. In all cases a data store would be showing 0.00 B of xx.xx GB used space.

  

  Is there a way to fix this? All I can think is that at some point the virtual machine could have migrated from one to another data store. It's never been renamed; Among the stores of data has no file like below...

  Your virtual machine based on the list of files, runs from snapshot and maybe the State of the virtual machine before taking the snapshot has been using the ISO on the old data store. If you can, try to remove the snapshot and the reference to the old data store will be deleted.

• ESXI & HP VSA data store size

  Is - well configured?

  I have 2 hosts HP DL360P VMware 5.5 with 2 500 GB hard drives with hardware raid 1. iSCSI data store configured with 690 GB of disk space in vSphere. 2 HP VSA is appearing 350GB of storage available. The HP CMC shows 690 GB of available disk space. When I install the volume, RAID10, and available disk space as thick, it shows a maximum of 347GB - because of RAID10 storage space.

  My concern is the gap in the amount of available storage space depending on whether display you the data in vSphere (690 GB datastore) store and the CMC showing only 347 GB of usable storage space. So in vSphere it will probably lead someone to believe that there are more storage available there are currently available on the volume.

  Is something wrong with that or should it?

  Mystery solved, someone has decreased the size of the volume in the CMC, which explains the difference in size.

• Cancellation of the assignment and reassign the data store by using different LUNS that datastore has not appeared.

  Hi all

  I have a data store after vdisk1 I have not assigned the vdisk to data store and reread the esxserver, the data store has disappeared.

  Again, I assigned the vdisk using the same number of logical unit as before and reread the esxserver, datastore appeared again return.

  But if I use a different assignment vdisk lun and on a new analysis of data store does not appear.

  Can someone tell me if the LUN must be even to see the store of data back again.

  If so why. ?

  Is there a vmware documentation to substantiate this claim.

  concerning

  Neela

  What do you mean by vdisk1?  The data store are stored as metadata on the LUN, when is formatted VMFS.  If you remove the LUN the VMFS is sitting on, then Yes, the data store will disappear.  If you only remove the vmdk who lives on this data store, then no, the data store must remain as it is, and you should be able to move the vmdk on the data store as needed.

• Data store rename using replace?

  I am trying to rename more than one store of data at once.

  Scenario:

  Have a number of local ESX hosts with several warehouses of data, in this case two. Now I would like to rename from the default datastoreX to & lt; Server name & gt; vmfsX. So that the number remains the same but the data store is replaced.

  for example, datastore1 becomes esx1vmfs1, and datastore2 becomes esx1vmfs2.

  Yes, I could simply run two commands because all the servers that I'm building will have only two data stores, but this is not the point and I'm trying to improve my skills of PowerShell. Since I did a change of name of the files in a file system quite easily, I thought I could try the same approach method replace.

  So the code I started with:

  $vmhost = Get-VMHost -Name MyESX.company.com
  $vmhostshortname = $vmhostname.Split(".")[0]
  $dsname = $vmhostshortname + "vmfs" 
  
  Get-DataStore -VMHost $vmhost | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "datastore*" } | Set-Datastore -Name { $_.Name -replace "datastore", $dsname }
  

  Returns:

  Set-Datastore : 11/02/2010 3:16:38 PM    Set-Datastore    52d79783-f475-a27f-1ec7-2f84b214241e     $_.Name -replace "datastore", $dsname ' is invalid
   or exceeds the maximum number of characters permitted.
  At line:1 char:92
  + Get-DataStore -VMHost $vmhost | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "datastore*" } | Set-Datastore <<<<  -Name { $_.Name -replace "datastore", $dsname }
      + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-Datastore], ViError
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_MoServiceImpl_Invoke_ViError,VMware.VimAutomation.Commands.SetDatastore
  

  It's basically trying to define the data store to all characters between the brackets.

  Then I tried this instead,

  Get-DataStore -VMHost $vmhost | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "datastore*" } | % { $newname = $_.name -replace "datastore", $dsname; Write-Host $newname; Set-Datastore -Name $newname }
  

  Returns:

  Set-Datastore : Value cannot be found for the mandatory parameter Datastore
  At line:1 char:169
  + Get-DataStore -VMHost $vmhost | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "datastore*" } | % { $newname = $_.name -replace "datastore", "$dsname"; Write-Host $newname; Set-Datastore <<<<  -Name $newname }
      + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-Datastore], ParameterBindingException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException,VMware.VimAutomation.Commands.SetDatastore
  

  So apparently not to evaluate $newname or at least it stays together.

  I checked that $_. Name of the data store is a string object.

  If I replace it outside the line, as below, it works as expected.

  $dslist = Get-Datastore
  $newname = $dslist[0].Name -replace "datastore", $dsname
  

  I'm sure that I'm either missing something simple, or there is another way to do it, but I'm jiggered if I can get by.

  Try this way, that should work

  $vmhost = Get-VMHost -Name 
  $vmhostshortname = $vmhost.name.Split(".")[0]
  $dsname = $vmhostshortname + "vmfs" 
  
  Get-DataStore -VMHost $vmhost | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "datastore*" } | %{
       $_ | Set-Datastore -Name ($_.Name -replace "datastore",$dsname)
  }
  

  The problem with your last attempt, is that it has no DatastoreImpl object in the hose that can server as a value for the parameter - data store.

• Device problem using data store

  I have a 6.3 TB RAID system that ESXi 4.0 can identify as capacity.

  But when creating the data store it uses only 370 GB of it.

  Do I did wrong?

  

  

  

  

  Welcome to the Forums - it is a very common error - ESX and ESXi cannot recognize or use the sotrage 2 TB or less, so you will need to cut the 6 + TB LUN in less than 2 TB LUN

  If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points marking the answer correct or useful

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  Configuration:

  -HP Proliant Microserver N40L

  -HP Smart Array P410/512 MB BBWC, FW 3.66 Controller

  -4 x 2 TB as a Raid5

  HP-ESXi - 5.5.0 - iso - 5.72 A

  I read a lot of articles on > limits of 2 TB of older versions of ESXi or controllers, limitation of 4 TB of c# vSphere Client, old firmware and esxi driver problems, etc.

  But I could not understand the problem.

  The P410 controller shows 5.5 TB:

  ~ # esxcli hpssacli cmd - q "controller connector = 1 see the config.

  Smart Array P410 in slot 1 (sn: PACCRID110510NR)

  Array A (SATA, used space: 0 MB)

  logicaldrive 1 (5.5 TB, RAID 5, OK)

  then 2I:0:5 (port 2I:box 0:bay 5, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:6 (port 2I:box 0:bay 6, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:7 (port 2I:box 0:bay 7, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  MS (Vendor ID PMCSIERA, model SRC 8x6G) 250 (WWID: 5001438013D9F37F)

  ESXi obviously knows the same size:

  I tried to increase the size of the data store, last used area was 11720890367 and last sector was 11720890510 which doesn't really seem to translate into an increase of 1.8 to.

  Thanks for your help.

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon

• The data store size is smaller than the virtual disk

  Just deploy a new installation of ESXI 4.1 rev3 on a new Dell PE R520 server with 4 disks 1 GB configured in a single Bay RAID5.  When I connect with vSphere and go to Configuration > it shows storage data store being just 740 GB.  However when I go to storage adapters and select the vmhba it shows the complete 2.73 CT of the RAID array that I need to use.  Nowhere I chose Go 740 for the size of the data store, so I don't know how it has been brought to this size.  If I try to delete and re-create 740 GB is the maximum I can create.

  What I am doing wrong and how do I create a data store that uses all 2.73 CT?  Screenshots are attached.

  Thanks in advance,

  Ben

  4 ESXi does not support LUNS > 2 TB.  Any increase on a multiple of 2 TB, it's what you'll see (e.g. 2.73 TB - 2 TB =.73 to ~ = 740 GB you see).

  But the real question is why you install version 3 year of the hypervisor?

• ESXi: creation of data store

  has obtained ESXi installed 5.1.

  have a couple of questions regarding the creation of a data store. My VM will reside on a synology 1512 +. the NAS has active windows and NFS file system.

  No, you can have several VM in a single warehouse NFS. Simply storage vMotion virtual machine on your newly commissioned data store.

• Cloning of VM/TIME to the different data store

  Hi all

  I am working out scripts excellent clone of Ruben garcia and one thing I'm trying to add is to have the VAPP created on a different data store.

  # Clone and move virtual machines
  {foreach ($vm to $vms)
  $vm = $vm | Get-opinion
  $vmname = $cloneName + "»" + $vm.name "
  . \LcloneVM $vm.name - cloneName '$vmname' - «$PortGroup» PortGroup
  Get-vm-name $vmname | Move-vm-destination $vapp;
  The virtual machine are getting cloned and then inserted in the passed TIME as a parameter name, but I can't understand how do to have the VAPP will be created on a data store that I specify. At this time the vApp is created on the same data store where the linked clones. Can I travel after from the user interface by using the migrate command but I want if possible to automate it.
  I thought that the next line should work but the VAPP fails when creating, so the move-vm command fails later.
  # Create VAPP

  $vapp = $host_name | VAPP-new-name "$cloneName" - data store "ThinDiskTesting"

  I am at a loss to what im doing wrong

  Post edited by: BrianRTS - difficulty of setting in the form

  You can specify the data store where you want to create linked clone delta files.

  This requires a slight modification to the script of Ruben

  # Generate specs for clone
  $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $sourceVM.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]::createNewChildDiskBacking $cloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $tgtDatastoreName).ExtensionData.MoRef
  

  Ownership of the data store is used to indicate where the clone should be placed.

  Or you want to create the clones, then move them?
