• How to add a logic unit with an existing data store number

  I have a logic unit number I replicated from a SAN at a data center in a SAN to another data center. I want to map this LUN to a cluster of ESX 4 and use the store of existing data on the LUN to recover the virtual machines it contains. What is the best way to do it? Guests will see the existing data store, when I rescan HBAS or y at - it a trick to add a data store existing cluster?

  It's a separate LUN on a different SAN mapped to another set of hosts. Once I have a new analysis for the new LUNS and data warehouses, store data on this LUN will display in the list of data stores to then browse data warehouses and register virtual machines on it?  Or still do I add storage and first select the existing data store?

  Given that the hosts did not see the original LUN before, the data store should appear just after the new analysis.

• When you add the data to the host of the second store it wants to format storage

  I have two hosts ESXi 5.5, one is the main host who currently runs the set of virtual machine from this data store. I would add the data store to the host, but to do so is greyed out on the new server, and he wants I want to format the data store.

  UPDATE:

  I used this thread to solve: cannot add to ESXi host VMFS datastore

  More precisely:

  Try the following command

  #esxcfg - volume - l

  This should show the volume

  To constantly increase the volume, use esxcfg-volume - M followed of the UUID or volume name

  Thank you for looking, sorry to distract. I saw this thread when troubleshooting first. Good day to all!

  What type of shared storage using you, and you haven't set up the presentation of the logic unit number for the second host in the same way that you did for the first host? Do you manage the host with vCenter Server, or if you use two autonomous host computers?

• Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

  Hello

  Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

  I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

  I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

  The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

  If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

  -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

  -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

  -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

  -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

  The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

• Logic unit number must be manually replaced by the iSCSI initiator

  I have a VM server that once restarted the logic unit number must be manually replaced by the iSCSI initiator. Does anyone have an idea how I can get this auto re - join when the server is restarted?

  EqualLogic PS4100

  Win2008 R2 64 bit server VM

  When you logged into the volume, there is a checkbox to restore the connection.  It was supposed to end upward in the Favorites tab in the MS iSCSI initiator utility.

• Determine if the logic unit number is in use

  Is there a way to determine if a logic unit number is used on a case of ESX?

  I'm cleaning up some old RDM LUN presented to on my ESX servers, and I want to confirm that they are not mapped to any virts. Is there a way of gui to do? I tried to develop a bash script to do, but the problem is somewhat difficult.

  Hello.

  Any ROW that are not attached to virtual machines is available by using the Add Hardware Wizard.  Try adding a hard drive to a virtual machine and choose "Raw Device Mappings" (if not grayed out) and anything that is listed is not in use.  If Raw Device Mappings is grayed out, you can use the free RVTools to find what VM has the RDM.

  Good luck!

• passing VM of a LUN to another logic unit number

  I'm under vCenter 4.0 and ESX 4.0 U2 4

  I need to rearrange my VM to deal with the issue of the free space on the LUN level. We have a VM to run out of space problem because we did not know that we must not create a DTX200 of 18 G for a virtual machine with 1 G of memory in a 20 G logic unit number

  Our goal is to move all the VM in one of the 500 G LUN at least 20% of free space on the LUN to all the vswap and log files and instant and such.

  Here's what I'm consider that I do or have to do.

  (1) SAN admin will give me a new 500 G LUN (new_lun)

  (2) I will introduce this new_lun ESX 4 guests

  (3) then I'll have to remove these empty LUN (orig_lun) for all the ESX 4 return guests to the SAN admin. I have read several posts on the problems of removing LUNS to hosts, for example all-way-down when a logic unit number is deleted and causing all the hosts cannot see all other LUNS. any advise on this?

  4) return to the step 1 until all the data store is in one of the 500 G LUN at least 20% of space

  Now, I am using vCenter Converter to accomplish this tast. Issues related to the:

  (1) I have no intend to rename the virtual computer and to move the virtual machine to another host in the cluster, or to change its ' IP. My question is, can the vCenter converter allows to move just the virtual machine to a logic unit to another logic unit number number?

  (2) some of my vmdk need to have a different block size because they are 256 G with size 1 M block right now. This means that when they are moved, I need to create a new vmdk with a new block size (example 2) and then move the data across.

  (3) most of my virtual machines have at least 2 drives and each disc has its own logic unit number. for example, VM_A is a C (20G) drive, which is located on LUN_C and an E Drive (40G) which is on. LUN_E LUN_C and LUN_E are 2 completely separate LUN. Now, when I try to move these LUN_C and LUN_E to the new_lun (which is 500 g), vCenter converter will a vmdk to 60G or a vmdk of 20G and a 40G vmdk under the VM_A folder (if I can still call VM_A) when I use the heater vCenter?

  Thank you in advance.

  As the size of the block is set when you create the data store that you must move all virtual machines to a different data store, remove the data store to change the size of the block on and create a new one with the correct block size.

• How to connect to a logic unit number?

  I have an ix4 - 300 d and created a logical unit number. I installed the Lenovo storage on a Windows Server R2 2012 machine Manager and connected to the LUN, however, I don't see the S: drive in Windows Explorer.

• Can I use vSphere replication for VMs on a logical unit number that is doing table replication to DR site

  Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.

  I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.

  Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?

  0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on

  1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.

  2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ

  3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.

  It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:

  1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3

  If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.

  From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.

  Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.

• ESXi 5.5 - Direct access to the local logical unit number

  I have a 5.5 stand-alone ESXi server.

  It has 2 local SAS controllers

  Controller 1 (HP Smart Array P410): data bank single RAID 10 with two VM's local logic unit number

  Controller 2 (HP Smart Array P812): only RAID 6 LUNS nothing on it yet...

  My question is that I need one of the virtual machine to access that LUN. Is it possible to give direct access to the VM to the controller and/or the unit number logic rather than create a vmdk and massive data store?

  If it is I know Flash would not work on these data, but that really doesn't matter in this case.

  Thank you

• Move the file to the vm to a logical unit number to another logical unit number

  How can I move a vm folder in a logical unit number to another number of logical unit to a remote domain with powercli controller?

  the virtual machine is not registered in vc

  Hello, tdubb123-

  You can use the cmdlet Copy-DatastoreItem of PowerCLI, who has a "-Recurse" parameter to copy all the child elements.  For example:

  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item "vmstore:\myDatacenter0\myDatastore0\someVMFolder0\" -Destination "vmstore:\myDatacenter3\myDatastore2\" -Recurse
  

  "He uses the PSDrive" vmstore:------", which gives access to centres of data/connecting to VIServer default data warehouses.  If you go between vCenters, you can use the ' vmstores:------"PSDrive, which allows access to these objects in all VIServers to which you are connected in this particular PowerCLI session.

  Once you are satisfied with the integrity of the files after copying, you can delete the folder of elements from the original location using the standard Remove-Item cmdlet.  Enjoy.

  When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

  Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

  If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.

• The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

  The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

  I don't know if it's a bug, but certainly doesn't seem like it should be the case. I tried on both 64-bit and 32-bit on windows 7. Does not make this error on XP or vista.

  Can someone explain to me what is happening?

  To reproduce, in windows 7 make a file or folder, and THEN add a ".". (period) to the end of the name of the file and look at the file "disappear". It's still there, just need to refresh (F5) and it reappears (w/o of the annex "." because it's an illegal file naming convention).

  I tried to do the same thing but through command line and it always auto corrects names of files to the conventions, and correctly, it remains on the GUI, so I think that the problem is related to the graphical mode of name change
