Scripts release for Storage vMotion / HA problem

Duncan Epping · Apr 17, 2012 ·

Last week when the Storage vMotion / HA problem went public I asked both William Lam and Alan Renouf if they could write a script to detect the problem. I want to thank both of them for their quick response and turnaround, they cranked the script out in literally hours. The scripts were validated multiple times in a VDS environment and worked flawless. Note that these scripts can detect the problem in an environment using a regular Distributed vSwitch and a Nexus 1000v, the script can only mitigate the problem though in a Distributed vSwitch environment. Here are the links to the scripts:

  • Perl: Identifying & Fixing Virtual Machines Affected By SvMotion / VDS Issue (William Lam)
  • PowerCLI – Identifying and fixing VMs Affected By SvMotion / VDS Issue (Alan Renouf)

Once again thanks guys!
