Add new storage announcement United Nations host

Ciao,.

Devo add a new datacenter come storage announces a host esxi 4.1. The procedure is e semplice:

-clicco su add storage

-seleziono it tipo disk/LUN

-nome he inserisco

Bell'arrivo quindi alla fase "FORMATTING".

Di default it valore della casella a discesa e ' 256 GB, block size: 1 Mb ", c e'e the spunta knew maximize capacity (2.6 Tb).

I like to understand che differenze this sound in AI based valori e chosen to sia possibile change i valori suddetti con lo gia storage online.

Lo che devo add e di 2.6 Tb storage.

Grazie a well voglia darmi UN consiglio

Ciao,.

No cambia nulla, 1 MB 8 MB o prestazionalmente da great stessa prestazioni. Quello che cambia e dimensione massima del disk virtual che you can create by machine virtual una:

blocksize 1 mb - virtual disk 256 GB

blocksize 2 MB - virtual disk 512 GB

blocksize 4Mo - virtual disk 1 TB

blocksize 8 MB - virtual disk 2 TB

Quindi, nell'eventualita che you debba avere di fare grew up brain, tanto vale partire subito need 8 MB, poi perche con a caldo no if Può cambiare it block size is distruggendo not it datastore.

Ciao,.

  • Add new storage "opération TimedOut" with RDM LUN on host. Pls Help

    Hello

    Installation program:

    4 ESX 3.5 hosts each with 2 HBA adapter connected to the HP MSA1000.

    Question:

    I set up MSCS SQL 2000 with RDM through host, MSCS failover without problem, performance wise is not a problem at all too. But the problem is that if the MSCS SQL resource is managed by the Active virtual machine that is running on host1, I can navigate to storage / adding LUNs, set in shape of new LUN with no problems.

    If I want to add new storage on the other host "host2" I received the error "Tor time to ask"is it because of the resource ROW being busy serving the machine virtual active it is why the host not allowing do not change with the addition of new storage?

    Guests see these LUNs. I can add the data store or to do a new analysis also long the LUNS are not presented to the host. Also I can browse the data store, able to see the addition of Storge Wizard when adding new

    Data store and make a new analysis only on the host where the operation of the active node. Suppose the preseneted RDM LUN on host1 and host2 and VM SQL running on host1, I can only browse the data warehouses, a new analysis and add new storge to this host. I can't do the same thing with

    hosts2.

    But if I take these "RDM LUN" LUNS in host2, host3 and host4. I can do a rescan, adding other LUNS as the RDM presented to the virtual machine, able to see the add storage wizard.

    I googled the error and found that the Ontario server is question, or DNS

    I had similar questions to those two problems here where I couldn't add a data store as he would expire and I got the long startup time. I also use RDM which I use for MSCS in the whole of boxes 2. Here's a quote from my previous post in which I found a response that helped me. Changingthe SCSI retry time increased my boot time and allowed me to add one more time without the question of the time-out, data warehouses.

    Response to previous Post:

    I did some research and I think I've made some progress. I found that I get lots of SCSI errors in the VMkernel newspaper. I did some more research and found out that I can change the time retrying SCSI 80 to 10 and it has done wonders for my time to reboot. Now, instead of taking 20 minutes to start, it takes less than 5 minutes now. Much better. I made the change in the host-> advance-> SCSI--> SCSI configuration try again. 80 a the default and 10A was suggested as being a good value. It helped and I will keep an eye on what can make the effect, but so far it has helped with startup times.

  • Add VM storage shared to multiple hosts

    Hello

    I have a NAS of QNAP for NFS datastore and 2 ESXi hosts (without hard drives).

    They are set to watch the NFS-data store.

    Now my question is:

    Is it possible to add a virtual machine from this data store for the two inventories?

    Or do I vCenter to do this?

    I want the excact same virtual machine for two guests, not copy1 copy2 for host2 to host1.

    Kind regards

    Soren

    I want the excact same virtual machine for two guests, not copy1 copy2 for host2 to host1.

    It's quite confusing, what a virtual machine can be saved on a single host only at a time. Can you care for your condition a little.

  • Add new storage - Disk Performance issue

    If I have a Raid 5 array in my R710 and want to add an additional drive that is not part of this raid, which will force the Raid 5 array running at the speed of the new command - aka the smallest common denominator.

    Sorry... I misread your post... you want to add a disk that is NOT part of the RAID 5.  I guess that I am confused by the question about if it would slow down the RAID 5 to the new speed of the drive, to which the answer would be no.  You can add a disk without being part of the RAID 5, but if you use a PERC H700, so you can add disk... Although it doesn't have to be part of your RAID 5 existing or in a RAID 5 clean, because PERC does not support not RAID, it MUST be configured in the Bay of SOME RAID... by himself It would be a single drive RAID 0.  It will operate at the speed, he is capable, and RAID 5 will operate at the speed, it is capable of... If you copy the RAID 5 for the single drive RAID 0, RAID 5 write speed will be limited to the speed of transfer and the write speed of the single disc (obviously an SSD would be faster).

  • How to move VMS to new storage AND new hosts

    Hello

    I'm having a hard time find, how can I move all the VMS NFS storage to a new storage iscsi (SAN HP). We are also the introduction of new material for guests, so throughout that this is an entirely new environment of vCenter (also from vSphere 4.1 to 5.5). My first thought was to attach new storage to the old hosts. Then do a migration of storage, one for a while (off voltage machines), remove the virtual machine from the old vCenter and then add them to the new environment of vCenter. But we have exhausted all NICs on the hosts of old, so I can't join the new storage, and I can't share a vmkernel for iscsi and nfs port.

    You have any suggestions how I can address the issue?

    It would work if you are very good to have downtime to your virtual machine.

    If you incur no downtime, you can try to install the same set of ESX (i) version on a few new series of servers (for example 10 points on 50 new servers) and add them to the old CR and proceed step by step below

    -Configure the old NFS storage on new set of servers

    -Migrate (vMotion) all VMS on old NFS to the new set of servers

    -Remove all the new set of VC servers

    -Add the same set of servers (that have been migrated from VM) to new VC

    -Migrate all virtual machines to the new storage and then upgrade your new set of servers

    In my view, this way you can avoid having a downtime for your virtual machine.

  • Unit - mailbox moved to the new storage group is not available

    Hello

    I have a 4.0 (4) unit UM with a message from Exchange 2003 offbox store. During the initial installation, only the first storage group on the mail server was present and mailboxes of the users are hosted here.

    Recently, a new storage group was created on the mail server and a mailbox has been moved from the first group of storage to the new storage group. The Subscriber is able to receive voice messages via e-mail, however his MWI does not illuminate. When it tries to connect to retrieve messages on his phone, the unit said "your messages are not available now.

    I am able to create or import users that are hosted in the new storage group, but I'm having the same symptoms. Is it necessary to rerun the configuration of message store wizard?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you run Assistant permission for the new Bank of mailboxes?

    The other thing to do is to restart the AvMsgStoreMonitor service; But wait after hours. A reboot will do the same.

  • Failed to add LUN storage

    HI, I am trying to add a new storage and after selecting the LUN, I get the following message:

    Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '10.212.77.30' failed.

    The LUN is 465 GB in size and it's hosted on a HP MSA60, I recreated the LUN several times and still not the same error, what could be the cause for it?

    Resolution:

    VMware cannot format some LUNS but windows can and once the logical unit number is in the format Windows, vmware can reformat

    Create a virtual Windows machine test and fix a new hard drive and select the LUN as a raw device Mapping...

    Connect to Windows VM Test

    Open disk management

    and re-run the analysis for the new drive

    Format the new drive

    VI - change the settings of the virtual machine and remove the new drive

    Now, try to add it as a new storage device... This works.

  • IVMS with new storage

    We recently had our Netapp upgrades to a 2240 and I'm having a problem to recognize the backup storage.  I can find and see the new storage, but when I go to backup and try to set up a job there is no storage data appears.  Can someone help me on the mound?  Thank you.

    Make sure that your using the latest version of the IVMS, which is now called VSC. The version im using is 4.0, but there may be a slightly newer version.

    You must make sure of the spin (or vFilers so your help Multistore) are routable on the server where you installed VSC (could be vCenter or a standalone machine).

    You "add" your "vcenter server" and the "controller of storage/s" in backup and restore (see the example of the window below)

    Note, you must also add your "(/ s) storage controller" in other menus, as "monitoring and Host configuration" see example below. "

    Its a little annoying how we configure vCenter and controller details in several places, but other than that, VSC is excellent.

    Hope that helps.

  • Add 4 t LUN to windows host in vsphere

    I have Clariion CX4-120 with SATA drives. I need to present a 4 t disc to windows 2008 server.

    I created 1 t MON (RAID5) and then created a metalun join 4 1 t LUN.

    When I go to vsphere > Home > inventory > data warehousing > add data warehouses >

    Configuring the host error: cannot find the file system for the partition.

    Then I click New, and then click Next > I see the hard drive is empty.

    So I can put the data store name > click Next and I get

    object reference is not set to an instance of the object

    Can someone please. Thank you

    vSphere has a maximum size for the LUN limit - it's 2 TB - 256 b so to have your windows machine see a 4 TB drive you will need to do this in two ways - both with VM - first if you are able to use iSCSI use an iSCSI initiator of software inside the virtual machine from windows and present the storage in this way or to present several virtual disks and systems operating windows cover readers-

  • Migration to new storage ASM

    Oracle 11G R2 RAC with ASM on Solaris 10

    Just do my due diligence to prepare material migration of storage of StorageTek (RAID 5) for NetApp (RAID 6) with more space

    Anyone has any experience of migration to new hardware for storage with different RAID types when you use ASM? I guess there is no problem of hardware compatibility. Is it possible to connect the new storage to the servers and create new ASM disks groups, move data to the new disk groups files and then remove the old storage? Or should I take a RMAN backup and then restore it on the new storage?

    Yes, but remember that you don't want to leave all as unpaired LUN in the same diskgroup permanently, as ASM blindly assumes that all LUNS have the same capabilities and balances Allocation units (AUs) is based on this assumption.

    If you break rebalance ASM, add a lot of new LUNS in an existing diskgroup and mark all old LUNS to fall once evacuated, then resume the rebalancing, the end result will be all new LUNS that are all also hitched. Just by adding a few new LUNS leaving some old would produce suboptimal performance.

    If you go to the approach of separate ASM diskgroup, you have the luxury to migrate your files (if desired) iteratively given ASM manages two independent disk groups.

    Don't forget to assign points if you find my answers to be useful and accurate.

    Thank you very much

  • Cannot add local storage of 2 of the 3 armies VM

    I added 9 300 disks in concert at 9 different hosts. They have SAN connections shared between them all, and now I wanted to add 300 locally to each. I got the readers in the server, restarted the first and F8 to enter the config of the car and he saw the car, I added and saved the configuration.

    Restarted and went into the VI. a host to the top, as well as virtual methods... went to the Config tab on the host, storage adapters and verfiied I could see the new drive. Went to the storage and click Add storage. Chose the disk/lun and the next screen showed me my local drive. He added, and everything was fine.

    Then, on the same server, I went through all the above steps, until he showed on the storage adapter properties page, and he was there... But when I go to the store page and add storage, it does not appear there. Only my existing device SAN disks are. I reread the HBA and drives are all showing under the Smart Array P400i vmhba0 again. but only the first showed when I went to add it in VI.

    I have returned a 2nd, deleted the player, readded it and still no luck... anyone seen this?

    Yes seen that before, suppose that you connect to your virtual center to add local storage? Connect your VI client directly to the host, then add local storage, it will then appear

  • Data to be moved to the new storage array: ASM_POWER_LIMIT question

    DB version: 10.2.0.4
    Solaris operating system: 5.10
    Setup: 2 NŒUD RAC storage 2 TB of data in 4 LUNS (all 4 LUNs belong to a single storage group)

    We will replace our IBM 2 existing a new 4 TB storage array to Sun Storagetek.

    That's what I decided to do after a few R & D.

    Below are the steps that I've prepared based ML Note: 557348.1

    Create 4 LUNs on the new storage, and then create a test using Diskgroup
    SQL> CREATE DISKGROUP TEST EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/rdsk/c0t1s1', '/rdsk/c0t1s2', '/rdsk/c0t1s3', '/rdsk/c0t1s4';
    Check if the diskgroup is created and mounted:
    SQL> SELECT STATE, NAME FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;
    If so, then manually mount on other instances of ASM:
    SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP TEST MOUNT;
    SQL> SELECT STATE, NAME FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;
    If the previous steps were successful and the diskgroup TEST can be mounted with success (on each ASM instance), and then drop the diskgroup TEST as follows:
    SQL> alter diskgroup test dismount; --(from all the ASM instances, except from one).
    
    SQL> DROP DISKGROUP TEST; --(from the ASM instance, which the diskgroup is still mounted). 
    Records of candidate is ready to be added to the desired diskgroup:
    SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP <my production diskgroup> ADD DISK '/rdsk/c0ts1', '/rdsk/c0t1s2', '/rdsk/c0t1s3', '/rdsk/c0t1s4';
    My question:
    Since involved LUNS are of large size, and rebalancing would make the command Add DRIVE slower. Right?
    I am thinking of setting the ASM_POWER_LIMIT to 0 until I started to do this and later new rever to 1. Is this a good approach?

    Hello

    My question:
    Since involved LUNS are of large size, and rebalancing would make the command Add DRIVE slower. Right?

    No, when you run the command ' add/drop disc' ASM reads and writes only metadata in the headers of all asmdisks (belonging to the diskgroup) and the guest is released.
    The complete rebalancing of the data process runs in the background.

    The fact that the guest to be released does not mean that the operation has ended. You need to check on the V$ ASM_DISKS (GROUP_NUMBER, PATH, HEADER_STATUS, NAME) to determine if you can remove the disks to the HOST.

    see this example (no difference at the time of change of power of rebalancing)

    ===================================================
    
    SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP DG_DATA
            ADD DISK '/dev/oracleasm/disks/ASM_VOL'
            DROP DISK DG_DATA_0000
    REBALANCE POWER 0; 
    
    Diskgroup altered.
    
    Elapsed: 00:00:07.90
    
    ====================================================
    SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP DG_DATA
            ADD DISK '/dev/oracleasm/disks/DISK01'
            DROP DISK DG_DATA_0001
    REBALANCE POWER 5; 
    
    Diskgroup altered.
    
    Elapsed: 00:00:08.21
    

    I am thinking of setting the ASM_POWER_LIMIT to 0 until I started to do this and later new rever to 1. Is this a good approach?

    You must know that the rebalancing will take place when there is a change of configuration diskgroup.
    Be careful, affecting the ASM_POWER_LIMIT 0 can let the diskgroup in a State of imbalance or unbalanced. (I do not recommend this)

    My recommendation:

    (* 1) save all your databases and valid backup (always required to protect your data). *

    You NEED to check the note below before add your ASMDISK.
    * Block Corruption in ASM while that balance [ID 1098453.1] *.

    2) run in two steps

    alter diskgroup  add disks  rebalance power x;
    alter diskgroup  drop disks  rebalance power x;
    

    Or Execute in a single step. (My favorite)
    Alternatively, we can run add disk & drop drive statements in a single operation, in what way that a rebalancing operation will be launched.

    alter diskgroup 
     add disk 
     drop disk 
    rebalance power 9;
    

    Wait until the end of the operation of rebalancing.
    You can follow the process of rebalancing using the following queries:

    SELECT  NAME,
         PATH,
         HEADER_STATUS,
         ROUND(TOTAL_MB/1024)  TOTAL_GB,
          ROUND( FREE_MB/1024) FREE_GB,
         ROUND((TOTAL_MB-FREE_MB)/1024) TOTAL_USED_GB
    FROM V$ASM_DISK
    WHERE GROUP_NUMBER= (SELECT GROUP_NUMBER FROM
         V$ASM_DISKGROUP WHERE NAME='DG_DATA');
    
    select * from v$asm_operation; 
    
    select * from gv$asm_operation;
    
    select      NAME,
         ROUND(TOTAL_MB/1024)  TOTAL_GB,
         ROUND( FREE_MB/1024) FREE_GB,
         ROUND((TOTAL_MB-FREE_MB)/1024) TOTAL_USED_GB,
         UNBALANCED
    FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;
