• Trying to create a shared via iSCSI storage. Storage shows is not the second ESXI host

  I created an iSCSI lun and gone through the process of adding it to my first ESXI host. It displays well in storage adapters-> Details and I can also add as a data store.

  When I try and the same thing on my second ESXI, the iSCSI host does not appear under storage adapters-> Details (although properties are correct within the parameters of the iSCSI software card) and I can not add it as a data store.

  If I remove compleatley from the first host I can then add it to the second, but (I think) need in the two hosts to use a shared storage?

  I'm doing something wrong?

  Thank you

  What iSCSI solution do you use? Are there limits set on the number of connections?

• No write access to vmfs volumes

  Hi people,

  first my setup:

  SAN storage to a DataCore SANMelody Server (HP DL380 G5)

  2 2.5.4 ESX servers accessing the (VMFS 2.52) vmfs2 volumes via FC HBA (HP DL585 G2)

  ESX 3i (3.5.0, 123629 (1) to access the vmfs2 volumes via iSCSI (HP DL585 G2)

  In Configuration\Storage the volumes that all are listed (readonly or protected against writing).

  The server SANMelody says I have read/write access to the storage.

  What could be the problem? ESXi is not able to write to vmfs2?

  TIA

• Deliver the addition of iSCSI storage visible via vSphere (direct host or vCenter)

  Hi all

  I'm having a strange problem when I try and add a second drive to my host ESX 4.1. The storage is visible, but when I go to add it via the add storage wizard I get the following error message:

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESX '172.16.10.221' failed.

  As shown below:

  

  

  The error is the same weather, I try to add via vSphere connected to vCenter or ESX 4.1 host directly.

  The funny thing is that I have a small iSCSI target on the same iSCSI storage that works very well.

  Here is my config network:

  

  And here is my config to storage adapter:

  

  I have also attached my vmkiscsid.log of the esx host file.

  I think what's happeneing, is that the ESX host tries to enter and format the storage via the console port of service instead of the iSCSI port I created but I could be wrong.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Size of the disk (including the iSCSI LUN) is still limited to 2 TB minues 512 b... Try to drop the size of the iSCSI LUN down that maximum and try again... I would bet that the 'small' target that you have not had any problems with less than this limit is...

• Problem when adding 2nd host in Iscsi storage shared

  Hello people.

  I'll try to explain exactly my problem even if it is a little difficult liitle!

  First of all, we are talking about a test environment that is installed in my house just for learning purposes.

  I am facing a strange my iscsi storage behavior when trying to join a second host to storage vmotion purposes. I was using an Esx host (3.5) for a while and I had no problem with the iscsi storage (I use an old pc with freenas on it). I must say that I got lucky, also, local sata controllers have been recognized so I could test the Storage Vmotion between two storages (Commons and iscsi) with success in this host.

  To continue to learn, I decided to also buy another pc to test Ha cluster, Vmotion, DRS. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the same material and who as well as sata controllers do not to be recognized, so I used a disk ata for OS and my intention was to use for the volume vmfs3 iscsi storage.

  In the first host esx I used, you can see 3 storage adapters: vmhba32 vmhba33& gt; Controllers local sata,34vmhba& gt; initiator iscsi software

  In the second esx host, you can see only the vmhba32- & gt; the iSCSI Software initiator.

  The first time everything worked ok, which means that I have attached iscsi storage in host the2nd by rescaning the vmhba and I was able to browse the datstore and see the contents of it, but it lasted only 10 minutes. Then suddenly I lost the connection to common storage to both hosts, I could see in the section maps of storage, but when I pressed update in the storage section, nothing happened and even when I tried to add it using the add storage I received the message usual "cannot read the partition table information. After being a little more careful I noticed that in the section storage cards, I could see the same vmhba34 in the two hosts with the same alias to the host of the first, and here's the strangest part, the situation I described above has been changing from time to time, which means that a few times I have seen the vmhba32 in both hosts and after some time vmhba34 in both hosts! (crazy)

  I took the big decision after playing with the partition table, without effect to use the ' vmkfstool - C vmfs3 s ' _free "_ / vmfs/devices/disks/vmhba32: 0:0:1" command

  in the second host, of course, I lost all data, but now with a simple refresh in this host, I was able to see the storage.

  Unfortunately, I still couldn't ' 1 host storage access and I published the same command "vmkfstool - C vmfs3 s"free"" / vmfs/devices/disks/vmhba34: 0:0:1 ""

  with only the change you see in bold. Accordingly, it was to see the storage after a refresh with free (1) name.

  Now he is currently working for 2 days with this way not recommended and what I would be really grateful if could help me clarify what exactly is happening.

  My main problem is that I am in front of a very unstable environment that might as well have the same unexpected problem in the future and I can't reformat always storage and loss of all virtual machines

  I tried to describe the best I could to this strange situation!

  Thank you for your time and any help or advice would be most welcome!

  I was looking for a similar solution. Seems to be the only iSCSI host is possible on freeNas. See here: http://apps.sourceforge.net/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=403&sid=f4881e6e25e752e6ee8c6b0eae5887d3

  The only solution for learning seems to be to install the server ESX or ESXi in a virtual machine and then use iSCSI. Vm Instructions to complete the installation here (you must all PDFs 6) http://knowledge.xtravirt.com/white-papers/esx-3x.html or you can replace the opnefiler by the SUN's VM iSCSI. http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/resources.jsp , you must use the vmware converter to convert the SUN's virtual to be used in ESX machine found this in a forum... but can not find more URL. I have not tried myself but, looking for just because you want to get a similar setup.

• Migration of ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4 (ISCSI storage)

  Hey everybody!

  I want to migrate to ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4. But there is a question that I can't answer by myself.

  I use ISCSI storage, what is put in shape with "VMFS 3.31".

  Is it Possible to use this storage simultaneous ISCSI of the two systems, also an ESXI 3.5 and a 4 Hostsystem ESXI?

  Does anyone have experience in this context?

  Greeting of the Germany and thank you,.

  Kay

  Welcome to the forums - Yes you can - the migration of high level plan is updated vceneter (it can manage ESX 4 hosts both ESX 3.5)-> upgrade ESX hosts (they can coexist in the same groups and data centers)-> then upgrade the virtual hardware to virtual machines and VMware tools.

• How to remove the iscsi storage

  Hello

  In the test LAB, I have 2 ESX 3.5 (ESX-1 and ESX-2) attached to the same iSCSI storage called OPENFILER (they have all both local storage).

  1. I want to remove the OPENFILER ESX - 2 storage. Then, right-click on the storage and click on delete. It is said: the resource is in use.

  I tried to put the machine in maintenance mode. Did not help... I have to take it apart this machine?

  What is the right way to do it?

  2. I installed two virtual machines on my storage OPENFILER ESX-1.

  As I mentioned earlier the same storage connected to the ESX-2. When you browse OPENFILER I can see the machines on this (installed on the ESX - 1)

  How do these machine under ESX - 2 inventory. Must I do VMotion or Migration. Sorry came not at that point yet.

  So, before the question, I would like to know the answer to the question two.

  Thank you

  Michael.

  What is the right way to do it?

  Both an ESX 2 can see unit number logic used by the data store that it will be displayed in the list storage ESX-2 - the only way to remove it is that you will have to hide the LUN the openfiler or ESX - 2

  2. I installed two virtual machines on my storage OPENFILER ESX-1.

  As I mentioned earlier the same storage connected to the ESX-2. When you browse OPENFILER I can see the machines on this (installed on the ESX - 1)

  How do these machine under ESX - 2 inventory. Must I do VMotion or Migration. Sorry came not at that point yet.

  The question is you manage these two hosts with Virtual Center - if so you will not be able to have existing virtual machines on two hosts at the same time - in which case you will need to migrate virtual machines from one server ESX to another - with them off a Migration cold or with them under tension - a hot Migration also called VMotion that will require a SAN or a NAS/NFS - shared storage if you are don't not to help Virtual Center, you can save virtual machines using the browser to store data but the virtual machine can only be run on an ESX Server, both-

• Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

  Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Cannot access the Media folder via App IOS Readycloud

  I have a RN204 4.6.2 running in an OSX system which will not allow access to the Media folder via the IOS app on iPhone or iPad. I can access the media folder via the ReadyCloud portal or the finder on MAC without problem, but the IOS App shows "Access Denied" and requests user & password, which, when entered, does not. I can access all other folders via the application, just not the media folder. Permissions are set the same as the other issues so I'm not sure what the question is that if she's Readycloud app for IOS. I guess the user & password requested is for NAS, although I tried the credientals of Readycloud just for fun but no help. As a note, I don't get "Connection failed" but "Access Denied", so the network access is OK but access to the file is doesn't understand why all other folders are accessible but not the media folder. And that's on both VPN connections & local. Any ideas?

  OK, get it fixed. I have changed the name of the folder, allowed full access, then he changed the name of moose. Now I can access the folder via the ios app. I'll have to rescan the actions in my media streamer, but to the East, I now access app.

• Is it possible to determine if a person has access to my computer via an external source?

  Original title: hacking

  Is it possible to determine if a person has access to my computer via an external source?

  Hello bconn07,

  You must grant permissions via remote access or they would have to introduce a software on your pc without your knowledge for them to access. The software is usually by means of malicious programs and your anti-malware application must pick up that, especially if it's a keylogger or a rootkit. Try to download Malwarebytes antimalware http://malwarebytes.org (download the free version). Install it and then run it. It's good enough to malicious software localization.

  Pirate can introduce a software called keyloggers that send information on the key, you press on your keyboard. This can help them steal passwords etc. However, I do not say that you even have apps keylogging or view on your system, so don't panic. I suggest, however, an application called Keyscrambler personal http:// http://www.qfxsoftware.com/download.htm it works by disguising and precautions that you ever install key press you. By example, if you typed "Bill" keyscrambler journal would be something like 'kl97' thuis makes it very difficult for any keylogging software interpret what keys you actually used.

• Three computers networked fine then suddenly the error message «...» Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "

  I had a network that worked very well with three 2 computers running Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition 1. Suddenly, the network has just stopped allowing certain communications giving the above error message (I have another thread address with XP to Vista computers). The main computer with XP Pro, I'll call A, the second computer with XP Pro, I'll call B and third with XP Home will be C. All computers can share files and printers then without any changes to the system that occurred the following:

  A can access the documents and printers on B and C

  B may NOT have access to documents or printers on one, but access to documents and printers on C

  C cannot have access to the documents on one, but CAN access A printer and CAN access the documents and printers on B

  When access is denied error message is displayed:
  "\\A\My documents is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "(\\A\ being the computer that I am trying to access)

  As I said access from all computers on this network was working fine a week ago and there has been absolutely no changes made to the network. I checked the following

  1. workgroup name on all computers are the same
  2. file and printer sharing are enabled for all computers.
  3. all computers may been from each computers just denied in some cases.

  The firewall that runs on all three machines is AVG and there were no changes to the one last week, but I checked that sharing is allowed.

  I even tried to run the Configuration Wizard from the network on all computers to see if it works, but the same exact problems occur after doing this.

  I met this problem now THREE times. I can't believe that I'm the only one who has this problem and I can't believe that there isn't a solution for it. None of the Microsoft documentation has even a hint of a solution for this specific problem.

  I need a solution that closes completely the network at my church, and they cannot afford to buy printers and others for each of their computers.

  This error message is misleading. See article Knowledge Base Microsoft Antivirus software may Cause Event ID 2011 for a likely solution, specifying a value of IRPStackSize 15 on A computer.

• Cannot access the AIP SSM via ASDM

  CISCO recommendations below:

  Cannot access the AIP SSM via ASDM

  Problem:

  This error message appears on the GUI.

  Error connecting to sensor. Error Loading Sensor error

  Solution:

  Make sure that the IPS SSM management interface is up/down and check his IP address configured, default gateway and the subnet mask. It is the interface to access the software from Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) on the local computer. Try to ping the address of management of IPS SSM IP interface on the local computer that you want to access the ASDM. If it is impossible to do a ping check the ACLs on the sensor

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I've tried everything recommended above. I can ping the host ASDM the FW and the SSM-10 module. Well, I ping the host machine and the SSM of the ASDM. I opened as wide as possible ACL. I changed the IP addresses and masks several times. The management of the ASA port and the SSM and the PC are on the same subnet.

  A trace of package from the PC to the SSM shows that it is blocked by an ACL rule, and yet I opened wide.   I've seen this kind of problem before and it was solved by applying the double static NAT, but I don't know how to do that if all the IP addresses are on the same subnet.

  Tried everything, need help from high level.

  The IDM software that comes with ASDM does not support java 1.7. The portion of the ASDM ASA supports 1.7 but launch the IPS cmdlet works only with 1.6. The TAC enginner suggested that I use the IME (IPS Manager Express) which is available for free on the Cisco's (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9610/tsd_products_support_general_information.html) Web site.

  I've been playing with it today, and so far it seems to work pretty well.

• Best way to disconnect the iSCSI storage

  Hello

  I have a server cluster, connected to the Equallogic iSCSI storage. I want to delete and re-create a volume storage, but in a fairly safe way.
  Ideally, I would be able to take the volume out of action for a few days, but there are avaiable to reconnect if necessary. Normally, I would do this to simply put the volume offline. It can then be seen by the hosts, but I put it online as appropriate.
  East - meaning the best, though? It does not seem to cause some problems that are to do with map software iSCSI being unable to find the device, until a new analysis/reset of the host is according to me.
  Can anyone suggest a better way to do this?

  Hello.

  The procedure is described in http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015084

  Good luck!
