4 EQLs Setup

Hello

Due to illness of colleagues asked me to install 4 Equallogic arrays in a green site.

I was wondering if they should all go in a group and storage pool. Should I create a separate pool for each Member? There are a variety of disc types

Thank you for the advice about this,

Huw

If the Dell rep has no information, they can bring some people to talk about your environment and plans.

As a start, Yes, four pools, once in each pool member.   Get all the RAIDsets built, activate all interfaces and firmware to the latest version.

Good thing about 4 pools, you can always merge and keep the data.  It's a quick process, given that the operation of rebalancing lights in the background... goes to the reverse, you must have enough free space on the remaining members, and it takes more time.

  • Setup.pl running on the host with no existing data storage

    I have a new environment, I'll put up: Dell Vmware 5.0 guest (s) and a 10 Gb Equallogic SAN PS61xx

    I am the great Dell documentation and want to run setup.pl to configure my Vmware Vswitches, then install the DellMultipathing (MEM)

    I installed Vsphere CLI on my workstation to mgmt and you attempt to run this command:

    Setup.pl - installation - server = 172.19.0.203 - bundle = dell-eql-mem-esx5 - 1.2.0.365964.zip

    This operation fails because there is no data presented to the host still store

    I'm in the chicken and egg scenario, I need available storage to be able to connect to the storage!

    How to do this? running off a VMA device would be different? (I think VMA runnign out of my workstation management using VMware Workstation)

    Thank you

    Looks like you have currently not iSCSI installation program.  The option - install option assumes iSCSI is already running.   You simply install the software.

    In the user guide starting on page 7 is the use of setup.pl to configure iSCSI and then install MEM in addition to this.

    Setup.pl - configure - bestpractices - server = hostname [-username = username]

    [- password = password] - NIC = NIC1, NIC2,... - ips = IP1, IP2,...

    [- vswitch = vswitchname]  [- mtu = mtu]  [- vmkernel = vmkernel_prefix]

    [- netmask = masque_sous]  [- enableswiscsi]  [- nohwiscsi]  [- groupid = IP of the PS Group] [- vds]

    [- logfile = nom_fichier_journal]  [- heart rate = IP]  [- chapuser = username]

  • EqualLogic Multipathing plug-in - issues with linking using setup.pl

    I get this error when I try to get the Module of Extension Multipathing EqualLogic to configure my ESXi 4.1 box.

    Could not bind vmk1 one iSCSI adapters.

    I have a Dell M710 server. There the Broadcom 57711 NIC with load HBAs iSCSI hardware.

    Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

    Installed ESXi 4.1 on host M710

    ESXi host configured with a password

    ESXi host configured with the IP address settings

    Connected to my vMA host (who has a local copy of the DELL-eql-mem - 1.0.0.130413)

    vifp addserver 192.168.110.63

    vifptarget s 192.168.110.63

    ./Setup.pl--installation--server = 192.168.110.63 - bundle = dell-eql-mem - 1.0.0.130413.zip

    I then reboot the ESXi host

    Once restarted

    vifptarget s 192.168.110.63

    ./Setup.pl--configure--serveur = 192.168.110.63 - vswitch = vSwitchISCSI - mtu = 1500 - NIC = vmnic6 - ips = 192.168.102.98 - subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 - vmkernel iSCSI - groupip = 192.168.102.40 =

    Then, it produces the following output:

    Network iSCSI Multipathing configuration:

    vswitch = vSwitchISCSI

    MTU = 1500

    NIC = vmnic6

    IPS = 192.168.102.98

    subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

    VMkernel = iSCSI

    EQL group IP = 192.168.102.40

    Creation vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

    Definition of vSwitch MTU to 1500.

    Creating portgroup iSCSI0 on vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

    192.168.102.98 to iSCSI0 IP address assignment.

    Create a new bridge.

    The addition of link rising vmnic6 to vSwitchISCSI.

    The definition of new uplinks for vSwitchISCSI.

    Definition of uplink for iSCSI0 on vmnic6.

    Could not bind vmk1 one iSCSI adapters.

    Argh

    So I use the vSphere Client to remove the switch, he created (and vmk etc ports)

    I then try again, this time with software instead of hardware iSCSI iSCSI

    ./Setup.pl--configure--serveur = 192.168.110.63 - vswitch = vSwitchISCSI - mtu = 1500 - NIC = vmnic6 - ips = 192.168.102.98 - subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 - vmkernel iSCSI - nohwiscsi - enableswiscsi - groupip = 192.168.102.40 =

    Which produces the following output:

    Network iSCSI Multipathing configuration:

    vswitch = vSwitchISCSI

    MTU = 1500

    NIC = vmnic6

    IPS = 192.168.102.98

    subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

    VMkernel = iSCSI

    enableswiscsi = 1

    nohwiscsi = 1

    EQL group IP = 192.168.102.40

    Creation vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

    Definition of vSwitch MTU to 1500.

    Creating portgroup iSCSI0 on vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

    192.168.102.98 to iSCSI0 IP address assignment.

    Activation of initiator SW.

    Permit SW initiator.

    Could not bind vmk1 one iSCSI adapters.

    Ugh once again.

    What I'm missing here? The commands that I use to setup.pl are actually given to me by setup.pl when I use the option - command sets:

    ./Setup.pl--configure--server = 192.168.110.63

    It has a nice Wizard that you ask all the questions, then tells you what is the actual command to use.

    I know that my steps using only 1 network card but I started using 2 network adapters and 2 IP addresses but it gave me the same error. For troubleshooting purposes, I decided to use only 1 network card and 1 IP to test. I also tried vmnic7 instead of vmnic6 with a different IP address but no luck.

    I tried a fresh install of ESXi twice.

    A huge 10 points to someone who can solve my problem

    VCP3 & VCP4 32846

    VSP4

    VTSP4

    Updated the commands I used wrong vifp instead of vifptarget, the problem still exists, but tried to fix this error.

    Box293,

    Which, in my opinion, happened is that vmk1 is already bound to something, the iSCSI Software card or hardware iSCSI adapter, possible earlier attempts or possible to have the classic configuration path fixed on this server - less certain on this second possibility.

    Deleting a key vmk from the GUI does not cancel the bindings, this must be done from the CLI with the command 'esxcli swisici '.

    esxcli swiscsi nic list d vmhba37 # lists all interconnect them related to hardware/software iSCSI card

    esxcli swiscsi nic remove - n vmk1 d vmhba37 # this will remove the binding vmk1

    Do these steps should help you clean any link you have.

    A lazy way to clean the link would be to re - install ESXi

    I hope this helps.

  • Apple Watch unlock Mac Setup Frustration

    I own a first generation of Apple Watch and an end 2013 13 "MacBook Pro and last mac mini (i5). I went through the entire setup process to have my watch unlock my MacBook several times. (All along the) When I get to choose the button "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac", it runs for awhile and then I get the "unable to contact Apple Watch" fast. It seems to be my watch because if I try and let the Apple Watch locked, she'll tell me to unlock, and then try again. Happens on MacBook Pro and mac mini in the same way.

    I tried to research on this problem and we tried all authentication reset to two factors for an agreement again all settings and turn it on again.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    Hello pgirardi,

    I appreciate that you try to unlock your two computers using your Apple Watch with watch OS 3.  The resources below provide the steps and requirements to do this.  I would just try it with a single computer until you have a job before trying the second computer.

    Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

    The first time you open a session after you turn on or restart your Mac, connect by entering your password manually. After that, Apple Watch connects to you.

    Set up automatic unlock

    Make sure your Apple Watch uses watch OS 3, and your Mac to mid-2013 or newer model uses macOS Sierra.
    For more information, see system requirements of continuity.

    Automatic unlocking

    Automatic unlock works with these devices and operating systems:

    watchOS 3 macOS Sierra
    • Apple Watch (1st generation)
    • Apple Watch series 1
    • Apple Watch series 2

    • MacBook (early 2015 or newer)
    • MacBook Pro (late 2013 or newer)
    • MacBook Air (mid-2013 or newer)
    • Mac mini (late 2014 or newer)
    • iMac (late 2013 or newer)
    • Mac Pro (end of 2013 or later)

    Make sure your Apple ID to use instead of the two-step verification two factor authentication. Learn more.

    Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

    • Your Mac has Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled.
    • Your Mac and Apple Watch are connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
      On your Mac, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.
      On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to general > Apple ID.
    • Your Apple Watch uses a password.
      On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then type the access code.
    • Your Mac has "allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" selected in Security & Privacy preferences.
      Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, then select the general tab.

    pgirardi, if you are unable to unlock your main computer after trying these steps, then you will need to cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch and try again.

    Cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch

    Take care.

  • Setup various AE advise

    I have problems to get the maximum speed. My ISP is 150 MB and I have this Setup:

    Airport Extreme (6th generation) placed in the living room connected to the Ethernet modem (modem is bridged, no router). When I connect this way, it gives me 130-150 MB, which is fine.

    However, when I connect these devices all starts to vary:

    1. an other Airport Extreme (6th generation) is connected to the hand on. Expansion of the network. When I try to change the option expand Network turn off this airport restarts but never succeeds and gives me an error. The only thing I can do is add then reset again and then I can only use the extension of the network. This normally works very well but do not know what it might cause the heavy fall.

    On this second AE Ethernet port I have attached a Synology NAS with my music, and so on

    2. an Airport Express (A1392 3rd gen) that I now set to join the network to see if things would improve. This one I use for music and it has a smart thermostat bridge (Tado) plugged into the Ethernet port

    3. an Airport Express (A1392 3rd gen) which I used to use to expand the wireless network but have disabled now I read that the extension of the network makes the slower WIFI and I'm afraid the Express slows down the extreme speed AC but not sure about that.

    4. a Time Capsule from Apple (4th gen) which I use for backup. I disabled the connection here as I believe join or extend the network would be to ask questions. I have attached a few devices through Ethernet at the back of the TC.

    The various airports are in different places in my house but not more then 10 meters (30 feet) on the other.

    That Setup would you recommend in order to get the best speed in different places?

    Thanks for the help!

    1. an other Airport Extreme (6th generation) is connected to the hand on. Expansion of the network.

    If you extend the network using a wireless connection between base stations, it will be the first performance issue you will encounter. It would be preferable to extend it using a wired connection between base stations. This is known as a roaming network configuration.

    2. an Airport Express (A1392 3rd gen) that I now set to join the network to see if things would improve. This one I use for music and it has a smart thermostat bridge (Tado) plugged into the Ethernet port

    In this configuration the AirPort Express performs like any other client wireless on your Wi - Fi network. He also performed an Ethernet bridge wireless for the Tado. It does not perform routing functions, or it extends the network. In addition, please note that the A1392 is a base station 2nd generation 802.11n. There is no 3rd generation... yet.

    3. an Airport Express (A1392 3rd gen) which I used to use to expand the wireless network but have disabled now I read that the extension of the network makes the slower WIFI and I'm afraid the Express slows down the extreme speed AC but not sure about that.

    Yes, what you read is correct. Again, you can reduce the amount of the penalty to performance of a network using a network of itinerant type instead. This requires not all base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

    4. a Time Capsule from Apple (4th gen) which I use for backup. I disabled the connection here as I believe join or extend the network would be to ask questions. I have attached a few devices through Ethernet at the back of the TC.

    How this time Capsule is connected? Wired or wireless and other base stations? For the record, it cannot be configured to 'join the AirPort Express wireless network'.

    The implementation of recommendation would be a roaming network.

  • the iTunes Setup program finishes, but the application does not appear

    For starters, I'm on Windows, but it seems that the system is not the problem because it's happened before, with my Macbook Air.

    I download iTunes on Apple's site and Setup will run as usual and finishes. But iTunes never displayed in Program Files, the destination he was supposed to have downloaded. I opened the Task Manager and tried to manually run the program yourself by using 'itunes.exe', but he writes that the application does not exist.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • That means "bad connections" warning to the average of the Mail account setup?

    The Mail account setup dialog box, the works of autodetect IMAP, but after clicking "Done", a warning is displayed (see image), declaring "Thunderbird may allow you to get your mail using the supplied configurations." However, you must contact your administrator or your e-mail provider about these incorrect connections. See the Thunderbird FAQ for more information. ».
    I checked the Thunderbird FAQ (or what is the information that I found) but there is no explanation of this warning.

    On the connection used:

    -C' is a working IMAP with STARTTLS on port 143

    -the server is using a self-signed certificate (not expired), which Thunderbird complains not in the warning

    -with the help of a Setup from another existing SMTP account (no control in the Mail account setup dialog box)

    So I ask myself, what this warning is really all.
    Best regards

    Watch dialog box seems to occur only if:

    • There is an e-mail account, SMTP outgoing self-signed certificate
    • The new e-mail account uses the only existing outgoing SMTP Protocol

    This could be a default in Thunderbird 31.7.0, because there is only one such warning dialog to the configuration of the e-mail account that is used for reporting several different problems. The code (source Thunderbird: mailnews/base/prefs/content/accountcreation/emailWizard.js) power switches of the incoming and outgoing messages, but in this particular case, it seems to turn off all messages - which leaves just the text displayed in the screenshot - compare to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/server-doesn ' t-use-encryption

    When you use a new profile without all accounts in Thunderbird 31.7.0, new account creation work without such a warning.
