Disable ATS Heartbeat per VMFS datastore

[perttisaa]

Hi,

Can you disable ATS Heartbeat per VMFS datastore? Trying to figure out how to set it via Get-esxcli -V2, LockingMode ATS => ATS+SCSI.

BR,

You can follow this KB VMware Knowledge Base

You can do something like this

$esxName = 'MyEsx'

$dsName = 'MyDS'

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esxName -V2

$hash1 = @{

    volumelabel = $dsName

}

Write-Host "Before"

$esxcli.storage.vmfs.lockmode.list.Invoke($hash1)

$hash2 = @{

    scsi = $true

    volumelabel = $dsName

}

$esxcli.storage.vmfs.lockmode.set.Invoke($hash2)

$hash1 = @{

    volumelabel = $dsName

}

Write-Host "After"

$esxcli.storage.vmfs.lockmode.list.Invoke($hash1)

This is doing job in my home "lab":

$clusterName = "Lab"

foreach ($esx in (Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-VMHost)) {

          $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -vmhost $esx -V2

          $arguments = $esxcli.storage.vmfs.lockmode.set.CreateArgs()

          $arguments.scsi = 1

          $arguments.volumelabel = "dungeon_0"

$esxcli.storage.vmfs.lockmode.set.Invoke($arguments)

}

$esxcli.storage.vmfs.lockmode.set.Help() command opened my eyes..
