Recreating missing virtual disk (VMDK) Descriptor File Vmware
Recreating missing virtual disk (VMDK) Descriptor File
Problem-
You just noticed that virtual machine’s VMDK files are missing and lost somehow. The reason, not able to start VM and when you try to add existing HDD – existing VMDK and -flat. VMDK files are not available to attach with Virtual Machine too.
Solution –
We need to recreate missing VMDK files, to add VMDK files and start Virtual Machine.
- Login to ESXI PS with Putty. Make sure, SSH service is enabled and running for the PS.
- Switch to the directory where your virtual machine is located.
cd /vmfs/volumes/<<datastore>>/VM-Directory
cd /vmfs/volumes/5d406ca3-62654bd0-75fd-e4434b75ed38/APP-U1-63-25
3. Run below command to identify and record the exact size of the existing flat vmdk file for the VM.
ls -ltr *
-rw——- 1 root root 16106127360 Jun 21 12:20 APP-U1-63-25-flat.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 214748364800 Jun 21 10:49 APP-U1-63-25_1-flat.vmdk
4. Run the vmkfstools to create new virtual disk, i.e VMDK (Descriptor File)
vmkfstools -c 16106127360 -d thin -a lsilogic APP-U1-63-25-OS.vmdk
vmkfstools -c 214748364800 -d thin -a lsilogic APP-U1-63-25-DATA.vmdk
5. As mentioned, there are 2 new files created: APP-U1-63-25-OS.vmdk and APP-U1-63-25-DATA.vmdk are created as a result.
ls -ltr
–rw——- 1 root root 16106127360 Jun 21 19:21 APP-U1-63-25-OS-flat.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 214748364800 Jun 21 19:21 APP-U1-63-25-DATA-flat.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 546 Jun 21 21:05 APP-U1-63-25-OS.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 550 Jun 21 21:05 APP-U1-63-25-DATA.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 214748364800 Jun 22 05:08 APP-U1-63-25_1-flat.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 16106127360 Jun 22 05:08 APP-U1-63-25-flat.vmdk
6. We need to Rename APP-U1-63-25-OS.vmdk and APP-U1-63-25-DATA.vmdk to the name that is needed to match the orphaned -flat file.
mv APP-U1-63-25-OS.vmdk APP-U1-63-25.vmdk
mv APP-U1-63-25-DATA.vmdk APP-U1-63-25_1.vmdk
7. Now, it is final stage where editing descriptor file (APP-U1-63-25.vmdk and APP-U1-63-25_1.vmdk)
find the line with RW ####### and change the name of the -flat to match the orphaned -flat file you have. So, I changed to APP-U1-63-25-flat.vmdk and APP-U1-63-25_1-flat.vmdk respectively for both disks, as you can see in the image below.
vi APP-U1-63-25.vmdk
vi APP-U1-63-25_1.vmdk
8. You can now delete the below files created earlier. These are not required anymore.
–rw——- 1 root root 16106127360 Jun 21 19:21 APP-U1-63-25-OS-flat.vmdk
-rw——- 1 root root 214748364800 Jun 21 19:21 APP-U1-63-25-DATA-flat.vmdk
9. Attach the respective VMDK files to the virtual machine as earlier.
10. Now, All set and good to power on the virtual machine.
USING CURL TO TROUBLESHOOT
To use curl to test basic network connectivity, you need to know several things:
- The remote server name or IP address.
- The protocol for the service to be tested (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc.)
- The port number for the network application you want to test.
To open a connection to a remote server, open a terminal window on your computer, and then type curl protocol://IP/host:port, where protocol is the communication protocol to be used IP/host represents the IP address or hostname of the server, and port represents the TCP port number. Port is optional when the standard port for a given protocol is used.

Solaris script to scan FiberChannel bus for new LUN
Here is a script that I use to re-scan the FiberChannel bus for new or removed volumes on Solaris 10.
WARNING!: This script works for me, but use it at your own risk! Make sure you look through the script and make sure it doesn’t do anything that would be unusual on your system. I take no responsibility if you use this script and it erases all of your production data. :)
#!/bin/sh
# This will scan the Fiber Channel bus on Solaris servers
# using cfgadm and then run devfsadm -C.
# I *think* I’ve got it set up so that it will autodetect
# the controller # that the HBA is recognized as.
# Usually it’s c2 and c4, but it might be different.

How to Upgrade IBM Power server firmware fixes through AIX or Linux without an HMC
Installing server firmware fixes through the operating system is a disruptive process. You will need to restart the system.
Notes:
- If your system is managed by an HMC, you must apply server firmware through the HMC. For details, see Managed system updates in Updates.
- If you have a System i® model running IBM® i, you must either apply server firmware through an HMC or through an IBM i logical partition. If you have a POWER6® Power Systems™ server that is managed by an HMC, you must use the HMC.
- By default, the server firmware is installed on the temporary side only after the existing contents of the temporary side are permanently installed on the permanent side. (This process is performed automatically when you install a server firmware fix.)
- If you are unable to start your AIX or Linux operating system or server, refer to Obtaining fixes through AIX or Linux when you are unable to start the system.
Perform Steps 1 through 6 to get server firmware fixes through AIX or Linux when you do not have an HMC.
Step 1. View existing firmware levels for AIX or Linux
The Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) is the user interface to access the server firmware. You can also use the AIX or Linux operating system to view the firmware levels.
- Select from the following options:
- To use the ASMI (AIX or Linux): On the ASMI Welcome pane, view the existing level of server firmware in the upper-right corner below the copyright statement, for example, EM310_006.
- To use the AIX command prompt (you must have AIX diagnostics installed on your server), continue with step 2.
- To use the Linux command prompt, continue with step 4.
- At an AIX command prompt, enter the following command:
lsmcodeThe existing levels of server firmware are displayed. For example, you might see output similar to the following:DISPLAY MICROCODE LEVEL 802811 IBM,8231-E1C The current permanent system firmware image is AL740_088 The current temporary system firmware image is AL740_088 The system is currently booted from the temporary firmware image. Use Enter to continue.Notes:- The permanent level is also known as the backup level.
- The temporary level is also known as the installed level.
- The system was booted from the temporary side, so at this time, the temporary level is also the activated level.
- Continue with Step 2. View or download the firmware fix.
- To view existing levels of server firmware for Linux, you must have the following service tools installed on your server:
- Platform Enablement Library – librtas-xxxxx.rpm
- Service Aids – ppc64-utils-xxxxx.rpm
- Hardware Inventory – lsvpd-xxxxx.rpm
where xxxxx represents a specific version of the RPM file.
Note: If you do not have the service tools on your server, refer to Obtaining service and productivity tools for Linux. - After the service tools are installed on the server running Linux, enter the following at a Linux command prompt:
lsmcodeThe existing level of server firmware is displayed. For example, you might see output similar to the following:
Version of system firmware is: AL740_088 (t) AL740_088 (p) AL740_088 (t)The following table provides descriptions for each of the server firmware levels displayed in the output.
Table 1. Server firmware levels Server firmware levels displayed AL740_088 (t) AL740_088 (p) AL740_088 (t) The installed level.Also known as the temporary level. The backup level.Also known as the permanent level. The activated level.The level on which the server is currently running. - Continue with the next step.
Step 2. View or download the firmware fix
Follow this procedure to view or download the firmware fix. You can download the fix directly to your server, or you can download it to a computer with an Internet connection and create a fix CD that you apply on the server. If necessary, contact service and support to order the fix on CD. You can also download the firmware fix to a computer that has a network connection to your server and use FTP to download the firmware fix from the computer to the server.
Note: If you plan to create a CD, you will need a CD burner and software.
- From a computer or server with an Internet connection, go to the Fix Central Web site at http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/.
- Choose from the following options:
- If you have a System p® server, select System p in the Product Group list.
- If you have a POWER6 Power Systems server, select Power in the Product Group list.
- Select Firmware and HMC in the Product list.
- If prompted, select POWER5 and POWER6 class in the Processor type list.
- Select your Machine Type-Model and click Continue.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to download the fix file.
- Select from the following options:
- If you downloaded the RPM file to your server, continue with Step 3. View and unpack the RPM file that contains the server firmware.
- If you downloaded the RPM file to a different computer and used FTP to download the RPM file to your server, continue with Step 3. View and unpack the RPM file that contains the server firmware.
Note: Select binary mode before using FTP to download the RPM file from a different computer to your server.
- If you want to create a CD containing the RPM file, follow the instructions for your CD program and then continue with Step 3. View and unpack the RPM file that contains the server firmware.
Step 3. View and unpack the RPM file that contains the server firmware
If you created a CD with the RPM file, you will need to view and unpack the RPM file that contains the server firmware.
- Select from the following options:
- If you created a CD with the RPM file, continue with the next step.
- If you downloaded the RPM file to your server from the Fix Central Web site at http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ or by using the FTP method, continue with step 6.
- Insert the CD that contains the RPM file into the media drive on your server.
- To mount the CD, select from the following options (you need root user authority):
- If you are working on an AIX system, enter the following at an AIX command prompt:
mount /dev/cd0 /mnt - If you are working on a Linux system, enter one of the following commands at a Linux command prompt:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mntor
mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvdrom /mnt
- If you are working on an AIX system, enter the following at an AIX command prompt:
- Select from the following options:
- If the mount was successful, continue with step 6.
- If the mount was unsuccessful, continue with the next step.
- If you received the message,
mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/cd0 on /mnt, perform the following steps to mount the CD:- Enter the command:
/usr/sbin/mount -v 'cdrfs' -f'' -p'' -r'' /dev/cd0 /mntThe quotation marks following the f, p, and r are two single quotation marks with no space between them.
Note: If you prefer, you can use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to mount the CD. - Continue with the next step.
- Enter the command:
- To view the RPM file name, enter the following command at the AIX or Linux command prompt:
- If the RPM file is on CD, type:
ls /mnt - If the RPM file is on the server, type:
ls /tmp/fwupdate
The name of the RPM file is displayed. For example, you might see output similar to the following:01EM3xx_yyy_zzz.rpm - If the RPM file is on CD, type:
- To unpack the RPM file, enter one of the following commands at the AIX or Linux command prompt:
- If you want to unpack from a CD, enter:
rpm -Uvh --ignoreos /mnt/filename.rpm - If you want to unpack from the server’s hard drive, enter:
rpm -Uvh --ignoreos /tmp/fwupdate/filename.rpmwhere filename is the name of the RPM file that contains the server firmware. For example, 01EM3xx_yyy_zzz.rpm.Note: When you unpack the RPM file, the server firmware fix file is saved in the /tmp/fwupdate directory on the server’s hard drive in the following format: 01EM3xx_yyy_zzz.img.
- If you want to unpack from a CD, enter:
- Continue with the next step.
Step 4. Apply server firmware fixes through AIX or Linux to the temporary side of the service processor
Important:
- Do not interrupt this process after you begin.
- Do not attempt to log into the ASMI, or use any of the ASMI’s functions, while a firmware installation is in progress.
- Ensure you are starting the system from the temporary side of the service processor; the firmware installation will fail if the system has booted from the permanent side. To learn which side you are starting from, and how to change to the other side if necessary, refer to Working with the temporary and permanent side of the service processor.
- To use the update_flash command (AIX or Linux) to install the server firmware, continue with step 3.
Note: If you have AIX installed, you can choose to use the AIX diagnostics to install the fix. However, if you plan to install the fix from CD, you will need to obtain the Microcode Updates Files & Discovery Tool CD to use the AIX diagnostics.
- You will need the server firmware fix file name in the next step. To view the name, enter the following at an AIX or Linux command prompt:
Note: To perform this step, you must have root user authority.
ls /tmp/fwupdateThe name of the server firmware fix file is displayed. For example, you might see output similar to the following:01EM3xx_yyy_zzz.img - To install the server firmware fix, select from the following options:
- If you are updating AIX, enter the following at an AIX command prompt:
cd /tmp/fwupdate /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/update_flash -f fwlevel -
# rpm -Uvh --ignoreos 01AL740_100_042.rpm 01AL740_100_042 ################################################## # cd /tmp/fwupdate # ls 01AL740_100_042.img # /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/update_flash -f 01AL740_100_042 Error in opening the file 01AL740_100_042 # /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/update_flash -f 01AL740_100_042.img The image is valid and would update the temporary image to AL740_100. The new firmware level for the permanent image would be AL740_088. The current permanent system firmware image is AL740_088. The current temporary system firmware image is AL740_088. ***** WARNING: Continuing will reboot the system! ***** Do you wish to continue?

- Continue with the next step.
Step 5. Verify that the fix installed correctly
- Select from the following options:
- To use the AIX or Linux command prompt (the operating system must be running and the diagnostics must be available), continue with the next step.
- To use the ASMI, view the level of server firmware displayed in the upper-right corner below the copyright statement on the ASMI Welcome pane; for example, EM310_006. If the level of server firmware displayed is not the level that you installed, refer to step 4.
- Enter the following at a command prompt:
lsmcodeThe existing levels of server firmware are displayed. For example, you might see output similar to the following:
DISPLAY MICROCODE LEVEL 802811 IBM,8231-E1C The current permanent system firmware image is AL740_088 The current temporary system firmware image is AL740_100 The system is currently booted from the temporary firmware image. Use Enter to continue.Notes:- The permanent level is also known as the backup level.
- The temporary level is also known as the installed level.
- The system was booted from the temporary side, so at this time, the temporary level is also the activated level.
- Verify that the level of server firmware displayed is the level that you installed.
- If the level of server firmware displayed is not the level that you installed, perform the following steps:
- Retry the fix procedure. If you created a CD or DVD for this procedure, use a new media.
- If the problem persists, contact your next level of support.

Hello world!
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
Add a RAM File System in Aix
Create a RAM disk of 10 MB
# mkramdisk 10M
/dev/rramdisk0
Create a JFS File System on this RAM disk
# mkfs -V jfs /dev/rramdisk0
mkfs:destroy /dev/rramdisk0 (yes) ? y
Create Mountpoint
# mkdir /ramdisk
Mount RAM File System
# mount -V jfs -o nointegrity /dev/ramdisk0 /ramdisk
The purpose of the mkramdisk command is to create file systems directly in memory. This is useful for applications that make many temporary files. Use ramdisk only for data that can be lost. After each reboot the ramdisk file system is destroyed and must be rebuilt.
