VMware ESX 3.5 update5 – Added requirement to have first 12 characters of Virtual Volume unique
Mittwoch, Januar 6th, 2010
Starting with ESX 3.5 update5 VMware requires that the first 12 characters of a Virtual Volumes name be unique this is the Virtual Volumes serial number as seen by the ESX host (ESX 2.x and 3.5 prior to update5 did not use this and relied entirely on the LUN and Target numbers for any disk devices it discovered). Virtual Volumes whose names are not unique will be misidentified as duplicates of themselves and could result in some or none of them being discovered. For the same reasons VMwares Consolidated Backup Proxy also requires that the name of Virtual Volumes mapped to all ESX Hosts, be unique, however this software requires the first 8 characters not 12. Therefore for configurations with a mix of ESX and VCB you should make the first 8 characters unique to meet all requirements

Dienstag, Februar 3rd, 2009DataCore SANmelody – Reclaiming Unused Space on Networked Managed Virtual Volumes (NMV)
Samstag, Januar 17th, 2009 It is possible to reclaim Network Managed Volume storage allocation units (SAUs) from DataCore virtual volumes mapped to Application Servers after files have been deleted. Basically, this process consists of filling any disk space that was previously used (allocated), but currently unused, with zeros, then running the DataCore Utility DcsNmvCleanup.exe. This command line utility will deallocate any storage allocation units (SAUs) filled with zeros so that the SAUs are returned to the NMV pool
