Finding out relation between vmdk and file system

July 17, 2017, 6:30 pm

Hi All,

 

We have a few VM which uses multiple small VMDKs to make up one file system.

 

For example, this is the disk layout for one of our VM.

PS > $vm.ExtensionData.Layout.Disk

Key DiskFile                                                               

--- --------                                                               

2000 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt08] ca02webp22/ca02webp22_6.vmdk}

2001 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt08] ca02webp22/ca02webp22_1.vmdk}

2002 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt08] ca02webp22/ca02webp22_2.vmdk}

2003 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt09] ca02webp22/ca02webp22_3.vmdk}

2004 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt08] ca02webp22/ca02webp22_4.vmdk}

2005 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt09] ca02webp22/ca02webp22.vmdk} 

2006 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt09] ca02webp22/ca02webp22_7.vmdk}

2008 {[ca02sanp10-sata-crypt11] ca02webp22/ca02webp22.vmdk}

 

Here are the file systems on the VM:

PS > $vm.guest.disks

CapacityGB      FreeSpaceGB     Path                                             

----------      -----------     ----                                             

3.812           2.792           /                                                

0.117           0.044           /boot                                            

3.812           3.043           /home                                            

1.445           1.442           /tmp                                             

3.812           0.829           /usr                                             

9.718           5.213           /var                                             

4,802.861       2,189.231       /data01                                          

7,219.176       649.892         /data01/archiveold                               

10,902.010      4,332.745       /data01/archive                                  

 

Using info from VM guest OS and vCenter, we know that /data01/archiveold is made up of ca02webp22/ca02webp22_3.vmdk, ca02webp22/ca02webp22_4.vmdk, ca02webp22/ca02webp22_6.vmdk.

 

Is there a way in powercli to find that out?

 

I would like to script this and collect all VMs which has multiple VMDKs for one single file system.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Have you tried using a bootable Windows 10 USB with the autoattend.xml instead of ISO file as virtual DVD and the autounattend.xml in a USB drive?


Your VM firmware settings has to be set to EFI instead of BIOS and you can easily boot off the USB drive. You would "Power On to Firmware", connect to the USB drive from the Removable Devices menu to the USB bootable drive with the necessary unattend files. The bootable Windows 10 USB device should show up "EFI USB" which you then choose to boot up.

 

I have tried this method using EFI for bootable Windows 10 USB installation but not with unattend features.

Ok, I had a chance to run the command esxcfg-module -l | grep xhci and it looks like it isn't loaded. I also ran esxcfg-module -l and scrolled through the list and found nothing related to xHCI. What I did find in the list was ahci and ehci-hcd.

 

However, the USB 3.0 card I have is working just fine. I get gigabit data transfer speeds from the USB storage attached to it so I'm sure that is working fine. Now, I have 5.5 update 2. Is it possible that maybe it just doesn't exist in my installation?

Thanks for the honest reply.   So for the time being I'll stick with Siduction 17.1.0 fully updated to kernel 4.11.    WS is running fine on that distro.

Hi vExpert, I'm using free ESXi host and vSphere client to manage hosts. I encountered the error that vSphere 5.5 does not show any information of VMs on Virtual machines tab as image:

The resources of every VM does not show consumed host cpu and active guest memory.

I already restart management services by SSH and console following this blog https://www.vladan.fr/how-to-restart-management-agents-on-esx-or-esxi-host/ .But nothing change. How can I fix this issue without reboot ESXi host?

Routing with NoNAT NSX & VIO

We have managed to disable NAT via another post but as we can now boot an instance and have a floating IP assigned via a public subnet we do not have external access.

 

As I am sure it is a routing issue can someone advise what additional steps need to be done with disabling NAT.

 

My intention is to remove NAT and have public IPs directly assigned to the VM interfaces.

VIO 3.1 and NSX 6.3.1

 

This is the last issue that we are facing to have VIO working as we would like so help is appreciated.

This is standalone host you are using ? restart services on this with command services.sh restart and then check again.

Hi vmstrom,

 

I doubt that this actually is related to profile types, profile persistence, etc...

 

You're getting access denied errors on a subsequent Edge launch because files are in use. Can you try setting the Export moment to Export at logoff?

We have a client that we are getting an error when importing an OVA, we have been doing this same method for over a year and this is the first time we have seen this error.

We export from vsphere 5.5 and the client is using vcenter/vsphere 6.5 to import and they get the following error.

Re: Corrupt VMX and Snapshots not showing on old ESX 3.5 installation

Welcome to the COmmunity,

... the most common conensus was to create a new vm of the same name and when creating the new vm, just add in the old disks ...

This approach - as you found out the hard way - only works for VMs without snapshots. The best way is to recreate a .vmx file from an existing vmware.log file (see e.g. HowTo: Recreating a .vmx from the vmware.log file ), and/or make sure that the newly created .vmx file points to the latest snapshot .vmdk file.

Anyway, you hopefully shut down the VM immediately after discovering the issue!? Please post a complete list of files from the VM's folder (showing file names, extensions, sizes and time stamps). If there's still a vmware*.log file from a time prior to experiencing the issue in the VM's folder, download this file and attach it to a reply post.

The scenario is a bit tricky

 

  1. VCS 5.5 is of domain domain1.com ( THE DOMAIN SHOULD CHANGE IN THE NEW DEPLOYMENT . THIS IS WHY I DID NOT SELECT THE UPGRADE OPTION DURING VCSA 6.5 DEPLOYMENT. I WILL COPY THE OLD DATABASE SETTINGS) 
  2. VCSA 6.5 is configured and ready on the new and correct domain.
  3. vDistributed Switches have been configured and every thing is ready.
  4. VC update manager is configured on the VCSA 6.5 all configured and ready.
  5. VCS 5.5 environment has about 400 vms (production servers)
  6. OBJECTIVE IS TO BEGIN TO UPGRADE THE HOSTS IN THE VCS 5.5 INFRASTRUCTURE ONE BY ONE (FROM ESXI 5.5 U2 TO ESXI 6.0 U3 )
  7. AND BRING THEM INTO THE NEW VCSA 6.5 INFRASTRUCTURE (ADD HOSTS)
  8. QUESTION :
    1. ON COMPLETION OF NUMBER 5 ABOVE, WHAT IS THE BEST APPROACH TO MOVE THESE PRODUCTION SERVERS TO THE NEW VCSA 6.5 without DOWNTIME
