Hi IRIX201110141,

thank you for your answer

no change

otherwise Is it possible to downgrade from the essential plus license to the essential license ?
and of course i am aware we will lose all the services

the direction find the support too expensive and doesn't understand why we can't subscribe to only updates

regards

Hi scott28tt !

we have an infrastructure of 3 nodes and essential plus kit; the vmware version is 6.7

we want to upgrade to version 7

is it possible to subscribe to a support only for update and without the technical support

I have read about "subscription only support" for update only. What about ?

thanks in advance

Re: unable to delete a datastore

Hi !

Once the VM stopped, i clone it ( i have to clone it in an other host but also at the same time in another datastore). everything went well and the VM start normally.

moreover i also do a snapshot ( VM was stopped), i was warned that some snapshot could be deleted ( i supposed the snapshot of the partition deleted previously). everything went also well and the link to the datstore was breaked, and i could delete it.

Thanks to everybody !

Hi ThompsG, Hi hassan

First i tried to increase the data, but because of some problem i decide to delete it. Unfortunately it persist because the VM seem to still use it although the partition is delete.

ThompsG points that the snapshot is involved. So as ThompsG suggest, il m going to stop the VM, to migrate it ( via à copy) in another host and process a consolidation.

to be continued ...

thanks for all

Hi Hassan,

I thank you for your response !

The datastore is a volume created in a san equallogic. From the VM i have had created a new disk and pointed it to the datastore

here is the state of the datastore :

Summary tab :

files Tab :

VM Tab

yesterday, i reset Vcenter, i put the datastore online and mount it from the host witch manage the VM in question. In this VM ( webetud321 in the screenshot) the partition witch was pointing to the datastore is deleted, but not the files, they remained in the datastore.

currently, the VM has a sbnapshot

Thanks in advance !

sincerely

unable to delete a datastore

quartz201110141 — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 17:27:34 GMT

Hi !

a datastore was nearly full, so i decide to increase it. The datastore was used by a partition 's VM

Here how i proceed :

1 - I put the datastore offline

2 - I umount the datastore from vcenter

3 - i try to delete it, but impossible; the message was it is still used. It was used by the VM

4 - so i try to migrate all the VM to an other datastore, but impossible the process failled and the VM stop.

5 - i decide to delete the partition from the VM and boot

6 - the VM is up and ok

When il look the VM tab from the datastore , i could still see the VM while the datastore is ofline and the partition deleted

i don't now how to break the link so the VM will not point to the datastore.

i notice that there is a snapshot on this VM. it mean that i delete the partition while a snapshot was present; could be the source of the problem ?

Now i hesitate to consolide the VM, i m afraid that the consolidation fail.

Thanks for helps !

Re: VMRC problem to access VMs

Re: VMRC problem to access VMs

quartz201110141 — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 09:49:49 GMT

hi,

i could no more access my vCenter VM installed in a esxi dedicated machine , because of the vmrc problème.

i notice in this dedicated serveur that some different VM installed in have also the same problem, for exemple a linux vm.

So i can conclude that the problem is not link to symantec antivirus service.

i unstalled the client, both the web client and the classique java one.

perhaps my computer from where i want to connect remotely is corrupt. I have to test from an other one.

Thanks for yours advices

sincerely

Re: VMRC problem to access VMs

quartz201110141 — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 14:30:38 GMT

thanks for reply,

But When i try to lauch the console the same VMRC error appear.

i can't connect remotely by powershell, neither by rdp beacuse it's a new installation and those service are activated.

VMRC problem to access VMs

quartz201110141 — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 09:35:52 GMT

Hi everybody,

We installed vcenter (under windows 2012) in a VM (Vitual Machine) witch is managed by an esxi 5.5 installed in a dedicated computer.

After having installed symantec antivirus i am unable to access to the VMs from VMRC.

however i can still access to vcenter by web vsphere client or vsphere client.

The symantec antivirus block the communication with the service. So i decide to unstalled it, but it is impossible for me to access the system windows 2012 under the vcenter VM, the same error is retrurned : VMRC console has been deconnected. Because of the symantec antivirus. I can't either access it from a RDP session.

What to do ? help please !

sincerely

VDP update (5.1.11 to 5.8.1)

quartz201110141 — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 09:33:14 GMT

Hi !

I have tow vdp appliance to update

i decide to update then both.

for the first one the update go well. we get a 5.8.1 vdp

for the second, it breaks at 65%. The error in the logs : not space left; to pass through i decide to copy avamarclient in /space and to create a link from /usr/local

I have done a snapshot before the update.

I restore the snapshot, but i realise that it doesn't work well.

i can boot the vdp, i can access to vdp-configure, But when i mount the iso to execute, acceding to vdp configure, it freeze with the message in the update tab: "blocking package installation !" and it suggest me to restore the snapshot

i can't find the update logs files to purge and to avoid this message

any idea please ?

thanks

sincerely
