September 15, 2015 — Leave a comment

Today I was lucky enough to be invited to London for the launch of PernixData’s latest product,  a new storage focused analytics platform called Architect, set to be available in Q4. Architect allows you to have an in-depth insight into your storage health with promises to help you better understand issues and potential bottlenecks with design, deployment, operations and optimization of storage. With deep integrations into their storage acceleration product and vSphere it promises to be the single pain of glass for your ever changing storage and application environments.

Also today PernixData have announced the general availability of FVP 3, their storage acceleration product with vSphere 6.0 support and a new HTML5 user interface as well as FVP Freedom, there free to use community supported acceleration platform.

Unable to mount new NFS storage on vSphere 5, Unable to resolve hostname error

July 3, 2012 — Leave a comment

When setting up a new Veeam demo I was presented with a problem where I was unable to mount the new Veeam NFS store, upon inspection I was unable to mount any NFS store to my host.

The error I was receiving was as follows

Error performing operation: Unable to resolve hostname ‘demo-veeam.Demo.local’

My new VM wasn’t however called demo-veeam and I got the same error when trying to mount any NFS store. Looking in datastores there were no NFS datastores showing and from the command line when using the esxcfg-nas -l option I received the same error

# esxcfg-nas -lError performing operation: Unable to resolve hostname ‘demo-veeam.Demo.local’

To resolve this I added a dummy host name entry for demo-veeam.demo.local into the \etc\hosts file

I was then able to run

# esxcfg-nas -lVeeamBackup_DEMO-VEEAM is /VeeamBackup_DEMO-VEEAM from demo-veeam.Demo.local unmounted unavailable

I was then able to delete this old NFS mount with

# esxcfg-nas -d VeeamBackup_DEMO-VEEAM

After cleaning up my hosts file I then retried adding the NFS datastore through the GUI and it worked correctly.
