I'm having a weird error with one of my vvols after repairing a vsphere-ha corruption problem. the vvol shows connected to one cluster, but not connected under "connectivity with hosts" > configure with the other cluster under the same DC.Solved4.7KViews0likes102CommentsGreetings: Deploying for a customer within POC..

Hi All. Do you have PoSH documentation about how to copy volumes from protection group snapshots and attach the copies to different VMs in a vVol environment? I found your docs about how to do it with regular volume snapshots, but not PG snapshots.2.4KViews0likes44CommentsSQL within VMware
If we are setting up SQL within vmware using NVME vvols and NVME controllers on the VM, is there a reason to have your data/log/tempdb volumes on separate virtual NVME storage controllers (for reference: https://www.nocentino.com/posts/2021-09-27-sqlserver-vms-best-practices/#vm-configuration)? Or do those benefits not really translate over when doing NVME storage protocols?Solved1.6KViews0likes24CommentsIs the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible
Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible on an existing copy of a volume group? Let me rephrase. Say I setup a volume group (VG) of 24 volumes (PRD01) that are for a production database. I want to snapshot that group of 24 volumes and create a copy of it to repurpose as a prod support DB copy (COPY01) and another copy to mount on another server to get backed up (COPY02). When its time to backup the server again can I refresh the data of PRD01 group to COPY02?1.4KViews0likes18CommentsHI all, new to the channel but have a question.
I'm trying to copy a snapshot to an existing vvol using the command "Copy-PfaSnapshotToExistingVvolvmdk". It works great 95% of the time. However we replicate data from one array to another, and I'm trying to do this on the secondary. 5% of the time the command fails with an error indicating that it can't do it because all of the data is not available yet. The worst part is that my entire PowerShell script stops executing when that happens, even when I wrap it in a Try/Catch block. My question is, does anyone know how to verify that a snapshot is 100% ready to use before I attempt to do the Copy-PfaSnapshotToExistingVvolvmdk command?1.4KViews0likes17Comments
