Adding volumes Equilogic Vmware ESXi 4.1

Hello...

We have a dell Equilogic SAN PS4000e, with 2 Esxi hosts

The installation program was performed by a consultant, 2 years ago...

He made 5 volumes on the SAN...

Now, I want to add more volumes (we 2.3 free to SAN)

I read the documentation for the SAN on the addition of volumes but feel somewhat safe.

This system works 24/7 and I don't how it works somehow...

Is this something I should take up study about adding volumes to our vmware environment?

Concerning

Kbergros

Fix.  However, the upgrade must be a VERY high priority project.

  • adding additional disks to existing VMWare ESXi host

    If I have a VMWare ESXi host that has 2 disks configured in Raid 1 and later add more than 3 drives and configure these 3 drives in Raid 5, will host VMWare ESXi what to see and be able to use it without any settings?

    You may need to perform a new crawl, but there should be no problem. Make sure that your RAID 5 array is broken into less than 2 TB LUN. (2 TB less 512Bytes)

  • Installation of VMware ESXI 6 in my server

    Hi all

    I have a server that I have configured with raid 1 using the disk on the Server utility.

    When I try to install VMWare ESXI on the server, in the part of the selection of the disk to install the ESXY appears only the physical disks and not the virtual drives configured in table mode. What should I do?

    Concerning

    You are probably using some (aka 'false') 'software' edge RAID controller. These controllers require additional driver software to work. However, VMware supports only the real hardware RAID controllers, which are transparently logical volumes to the OS. Unless your hardware provider offering dedicated to ESXi drivers (HP as much I know as fact for some of theit controllers of Type B) you may not use the RAID on board.

  • Drive HARD physics add to VMware ESXi 5.1

    I came across a configuration of a Dell Power Edge ii one T110 Server VMware ESXi 5.1


    It was built not by me, I found it here. I came across the need to increase the storage of VMware, but I need to add a new physical HARD disk.


    I'm afraid to make any changes to the system, because there is no backup found for the virtual machine.


    If I stop the physical machine and connect the additional HARD disk, how can I declare to the VMware, in order to define the backup of the virtual machine?


    Thank you in advance.


    Sincerely, George I.

    When you restart the server, you should see an option to create a matrix of storage before the ESXi begins to start up (this option is available for almost all servers and appears between POST process and startup). Select the option and create a RAID 0 array on second HARD drive. Start the ESXi server after that. You have to be sure that the second HDD is not in use or it will be formatted.

    When the ESXi has started, go to Configuration-> Storage-> rescan all. After the news of the analysis is complete, go to storage add and you should see the table that you just created. After you have added storage, it will be visible as a the ESXi data store.

    Let me know how it went.

  • How to remove a volume of vmware

    I'm new to vmware. We have a system that I inherited. I want to free up space so I moved some other volumes of vmware virtual machines, I'm now on the left and 2 empty volumes. I remove or disassemble? I was looking at vmware, document 2004605, as well as the documentation for vmware storage. The documentation states that I have to delete the data store. The document of vmware States that I must remove the data store, as well as many other steps. I want to just get rid of this data store and then rid our sysadmin of storage, as it can get. Please help me.

    Documentation:

    Note

    T delete operation for the data store that it permanently deletes all files associated with virtual machines on the data store. Although you can delete the data without dismantling store, it is best that you take it apart first the datastore.

    Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

    Hello

    I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

    This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2nd NIC. But that 2nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

    Thanks in advance

    Network configuration

    • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
    • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

    If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

  • VMware esxi 5.0: Samba datastore

    Hello

    After searching for a thousand and one ways I found no results for my problem.

    Let me explain:

    I recently bought from Dell a server on vmware esxi 5.0.

    My virtualization works wonderfully well and I have no worries about the virtualization itself.

    Given the cost of the server I preferred a server with little storage... And now everything works fine I heard 'need' more storage (Miss near 100 go).

    I have a server iomega Linux ubuntu 11.02 with more than 1 TB of storage. That had more but accurate, so I decided to use it as storage type NAS dedicated only to my virtualization.

    It is configured so that it is accessible to all (public mode). It is visible from any position, it is on Linux or on Windows. I have the opportunity (in any position) to create/delete/run the files it contains.

    Ook, impossible pour me to make this server a data store. :/

    Indeed after searching for tutorials on the Internet I don't have until then not found solution...

    Apart from "http://www.tuto-it.fr/ESXDatastore.php." When I get to select my server (IP put) I don't have to worry about this one is clearly visible. However I don't have a 'target' (target) available in what makes me unable to create a new LUN disk on this famous server.

    I ask myself several questions:

    1. is my request possible?

    2 samba is he took into account by Vmware as a NAS Server?

    3. a more advanced version of the it takes VMware pour UTI UN datastore 'distant '?

    4. should I use another operating system and/or USE another software for sharing?

    Someone would have it an idea pour me troubleshoot?

    I thank in advance anyone willing to give me some advice.

    [EDIT]

    I also could find attached 'http://www.vclouds.nl/2012/06/24/building-my-superfast-home-storage-with-nexenta-ce/' but this one speaks of "Nexenta. Therefore, pour me possible to a server from a data store. Remains to be seen how! :-(

    Hello

    Pour you could mount a store of data that Linux server on your infra vSphere, it takes you to introduce United Nations either NFS or iSCSI volumes.

    A the of my opinion, simpler and faster is that you turn to the NFS, just have to be careful to set the right parameters pour export.

    I had the same problem. You will also notice that there is no power to the USB

    Look at these two links:

    After you have added all of my usb devices and after a reboot, my local host console was frozen and I could not access anything whatsoever. I did a repair and everything went quickly up and running and will now add each device for passthrough successively. (you will need to reboot the host after addind devices)

  • ISO customized for HP of VMware ESXi 4.0

    Hello

    I am building an infrastructure and I have a HP Proliant dl320g5p. What are the differences between an image of the iso standard and the iso costumized for HP? I can't find the differences.

    For more, when I'm building RAID1 installation of VMware ESXi see 2 discs... How can it be resolved?

    Another problem I have, is that sometimes the service Management Console stops

    Thank you.

    Hello

    See this post where you can learn some information about it.

    And as the OP commented you must correctly configure the raid1 disk controller's BIOS. Then the esxi should see a volume of disk raid1 logic.

    BTW, what disk controller you are using?

    Sometimes, if the drive controller is not really supported, just the physical disks are available for esxi, but not the volume raid1.

    I recommend you check the ESX(I) Compatibility Guide to ensure that your disk controller is supported.

    Hope this helps

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?
