• Reference Dell EqualLogic 6010 initial configuration

  Hello. I have a dust collection Dell EqualLogic 6010 in my test harness. He was sent by another office, for reasons unknown. I would use this feature to unload a few backup copies of vm in the development of our san to this device of 16 smaller disk.  I only have one switch that comes with it, but for its intended use, this should be good. I only will link a physical server to it where my backup software. (I wish I could just direct connect, but I read that it is not possible, or at least not recommended) The problem is... I don't know where to start.

  I tried to put in place of guides, manuals and Setup guides, but the single pdf I find is more on limits, best practices, what he can do, etc., rather than from step 1. (like, indications which include the implementation of rails and all that usually skip us... lol) Can anyone help with a quick course guide or accident? Maybe point me in the direction of certain documents?

  For example... series in I do? If so, what are the default creds? There may be a default ip address that I can connect my laptop in to start the initial game up? Or y at - it a config that I can run on the same subnet as EMC VNX implemented who will find unconfigured devices? I really can't find any of this set up information of this device. I hope someone can help.

  Thank you very much. :)

  Hello

  You have a username on the EQL support site?   The documentation is a quick installation guide.

  1.), you can use the serial port.  9600,8, n, 1 NO flowcontrol.   (Series cisco cables do not work)   Grpadmin default login, password grpadmin. (assuming that it has not already been implemented)

  2.) If you have an EQL support account, you can also download the HIT for Windows or Linux.   Who has the Remote Installation Wizard software.  Who will scan the local subnet for the not configured matrices.  Then allow you to configure it through the user interface.

  Re: switches.  You need a 10GbE switch.  The 6010 will not negotiate until 1GbE.

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade 5.1 in a Dell EqualLogic environment?

  Hi all, I am planning to upgrade our guests ESXi4.1 U1 to ESXi 5.1 Dell R610.  We use a PS6100E EqualLogic via iSCSI.  I installed 5.1 vCenter and prepared Update Manager with the image of Dell Custom ESXi 5.1, thinking that it would contain all the necessary drivers/modules.  However, after analysis of my ESXi hosts, I get the following caveat (see attachment).  Anyone has done an upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1 in a Dell EqualLogic environment?  I'm not warm and fuzzy about the procedure taking into account the warning.  Thank you!

  

  Hello

  There is no requirement for reconfiguration of re - install MEM after the upgrade.  It lies on the existing configuration as before.

  My personal preference is to uninstall 3rd party before the upgrade applications to make the cleaner process.  I don't know problem to upgrade to 1.1.2 and then the ESX upgrade, I have not tried it personally.

• Replication of Dell Equallogic SAN via VPN

• Range Dell EqualLogic has stopped working when you restart the failure

  During and after an interruption of scheduled maintenance work, ESXi cannot mount on our Dell EqualLogic Array data warehouses and I have no idea why.

  We lack ESXi 5.0.  Shut down us throughout the weekend, replaced the network cables and when we returned to our ESXi hosts could not see the Bay EqualLogic iSCSI, but you could see several other berries on the same storage system iSCSI.  Digging into logs, I see the ESXi host making the CHAP authentication to the EqualLogic Bay, and the said table it connects successfully, then it loses connection about 10 seconds later.  10 seconds more ESXi tent reconnection to the EqualLogic and the same thing is happening again.

  I see several newspapers in ESXi hostd.log indicating this table goes ONLINE and off LINE and another line indicating "sense data Possible" leading me to http://KB.VMware.com/kb/289902 .  I feel really disabled at the moment because it's the Bay of storage accommodation our vCenter Server, which puts us in trouble right now.

  Also, if I try to "Add Storage", ESXi sees EqualLogic stores exist (watch a sufficient volume, size etc.).  However, as I'm trying to add them (via vSphere Client), step 1 takes a lot of time to finish, step 2 indicates the "disks are empty" (which I don't believe), then after an another long this timeout a popup error.

  Are there commands or utilities that are good for the diagnosis of iSCSI specifically?

  I can post more specific journal details if it is useful.

  PS - The new network cables are ok in communication with other storage targets, and it has not replaced the EqualLogic cables.

  Fixed; the MTU setting on my storage switch was mowing part of storage traffic.  Here are the troubleshooting steps that I went through, maybe it'll help someone else.  The solution didn't exactly have anything specific to do with ESXi or EqualLogic.  Basic troubleshooting and digging.

  Newspapers/events storage array inspection revealed he saw and accepted the ESXi host connection appempts.  I saw messages to the effect of:

  -Connection of ESXi iqn blah blah blah established; Successful CHAP authentication.

  -10 seconds later: Connection reset / abandoned by peers.

  -5 seconds later: ESXi connection successfully established...

  (rinse and repeat several times)

  Inspection of the file hostd.log ESXi showed several messages of 'connection reset by peer '.  The storage array and ESXi have been pointing to the other... so the switch is the only thing in the middle.

  Troubleshooting steps now:

  -using the vmkping ping on the table of the ESXi - success: vmkping 192.168.1.20

  -using the vmkping ping on the table of the ESXi with a size of 9000 (jumbo frame size): NO RESPONSE! : (vmkping) s 9000 192.168.100.20<-- this="" is="" where="" the="" money="" was="" for="" finding="" the="">

  MTU has been set at around 9000.  It turns out that the switch should be set a little higher (taking into account headers of packets? who knew)

  So this Setup ran for more than a year of intact working and just stopped when we took everything downstairs and brought it up.

• Reference Dell EqualLogic Multipath (e/s high flow)

  We recently bought a Dell EqualLogic SAN. Our main goal for this device was to begin to use pools of resources and be able to do a few HA and Live migration. We have worked with XenServer and Xen Cloud for a while and got no e/s on iScsi performance we were hoping for. With the help of Multipath on the main host machine we get on 250 Mbps (which we are satisfied). On the guest computers, we get only 120 Mbps.

  My question to the community of VMWare; If we wanted to use products VMWare is the possibility to get more then 1 Gbps i/o throughput on a guest PC? And if so, if it is a PDF or a post somewhere that could explain how to do this?

  Let me know, thanks!

• Error adding array manager - VSphere 4, 4 SRM and Dell Equallogic

  I have built a new VSphere 4 of 2003 server and that you have installed SRM on it with one of Dell Equallogic SAN.  I'm point table configuration manager.  After I enter the information, then click on connect, I get the following error:

  Error occurred: XML Document is Empty

  I tried to run the installer with the repair option again and removed and added the SRA with no luck.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Just treat it today.  The plugin storage Dell is written in Java, so your Java executable needs to be in the path.  RDP on your SRM server and open a commandprompt.  If you can not simply run "Java.exe", you will have this problem.

  I just do a fresh install of the latest Sun JRE and then it worked fine.

• Dell Equallogic PS5000X NIC reference

  Hello

  does anyone have experience of SAN Dell Equallogic PS5000X?  I'll put in place at the moment and it seems there are 2 controllers for all of the 3 NIC (6 in total).  I find I cannot use 3 cards and 1 controller in Active mode and can not find a way to get the two controllers to work in unison and the two assets.

  I wanted to use 4 network cards for iSCSI traffic on a VLAN giving a rate 4 GB of storage but you can use 2 network cards, giving a throughput of 2 GB and 1 for management.

  Is this the only method available for this type of SAN?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Andy

  Hey,.

  The PS is an active / standby. A controller is active. The other will be the shot if the first of all a problem. You have only a configuration to do.

  You configure 3 interfaces in the GUI. eth0, 1, 2.

  The second controller will use this interface when you need.

  You can dedicate a management port, but Dell recommends that you connect all of your ports to the ISCSI network.

  Hope this helps

• Reference Dell Equallogic Interface errors

  Hi guys, I got a big problem here in my room. My equallogic iscsi interfaces have a lot of erros. What can be?

  

  First of all, make sure you run the latest version of FW and SANHQ table.

  Packet errors are often the cause of bad cable, bad switch ports and a misconfiguration on switch iSCSI ports.   The only way to erase the mistakes of packages on Equallogic arrays must restart the table.

  • Replacement cable between the controller port and switch port with known good cable.

  • 10 GB cables must be SFF-8472 compliant to work with 10 GB Equallogic arrays.

  • Confirm that the switch is a minimum firmware to work with Berry Equallogic en.community.dell.com/.../2661.equallogic-compatibility-matrix

  (Note: if unable to switch, you can disable protocols spanning tree on ports connect to the table).

  • Use the tech TR1017 report to verify the configuration of the switch and confirm it meets best practices.

  • Run a show of support on the switches to review port errors.   If a Powerconnect or Force10 switch then engage networks dell help examine the switch logs. If another provider, and then engage the seller to switch to help examine the switch logs.

  • Cards network host to firmware update and the latest network card driver

  • The direct link to TR1017:

  Media.Community.Dell.com/.../tr1017-v4-Network-Guidelines.pdf

  If the host Linux with Multipath.d, you may need to modify the multipath.conf file to include: tur path_checker in the devices section.

• vSphere 5 and Dell Equallogic iSCSI

  Hi all

  I need some suggestions on how to implement my iSCSI network

  I habe 2 x power R520 edges with 2 network cards to edge, 4 x PCI Nic and 1 x Dual Port Nic Cards-> network so 8 total

  and an Equallogic PS4100 with 2 controllers and 2 network cards on each controller

  I have 2 Dell switches for my iSCSI network.

  The address of the Equallogic MGMT is 10.10.1.100

  The group IP address is 10.10.1.101 - or should these IP in the iSCSI network

  My iSCSI network should be

  192.168.1.x / 24

  do I need to a single network or do I have to use 2 different networks in order to obtain the failover job.

  I plan 2 or 4 NICs for iSCSI vmkernel traffic - what do you suggest?

  If I use 4 network cards - use 2 vmkernel ports with 2 links and aggregation of links on the switches? Or can I use 4 ports vmkernel and round robin?

  ESX1

  vnmic0 192.168.1.1

  vmnic1 192.168.1.2

  ESX2

  vnmic0 192.168.1.3

  vmnic1 192.168.1.4

  EqualLogic

  eth0 192.168.1.5

  eth1 192.168.1.6

  ESX1 + ESX2

  vmnic0 - iSCSI01

  vmnic1 - iSCSI02

  SwitchA

  vmnic0 Esx1, vmnic1 ESX2, eth0, eth1 ControllerB controlled

  SwitchB

  vmnic1 ESX1, vmnic0 ESX2, the controller has ControllerB eth0, eth1

  Do I have to master two switches?

  Hello

  I recommend 2 virtual switches with 2 network cards in each. Multipathing in fixed for each switch if it's an active-passive array and Round Robin if it is an active-active array.

  1 VLAN should be fine.

  MTU = 9000 in all the components of your infrastructure iSCSI (jumbo frames).

  Try to have HA in each part of your infrastructure and you sure you don't have 1 vSwitch connected to the 2 ports on the same HBA and using the same switch...

  If you have the option to make the "fast track" in your switch, do it.

  CHAP authentication more secure, you can (if initiator software, I think that they are, mutual CHAP)

  You don't need chest 2 switches.

  Try to keep your number of VMs distributed among your LUN (to not collapse them with SCSI reservations)

  That's all I can think of at this time. I hope this has helped you! If that were the case, do not forget to assign the corresponding points, so we are all winners!

  Kind regards

  Currently the cmd - allows PowerShell does not size of replication data.  For now, only the GUI and the SANHQ can show you the size of each replication.
