• Configuration of ESXi 4.1 vmotion

  Hi all!

  I'm checking a configuration of vSphere 4.1 and I have 3 ESXi 4.1 the hosts in the same cluster with enable HA and DRS.

  Each host has 4 FCoE 10 Gb HBA, 2 of them are used to connect to the host for the SAN and the other 2 are used for vmotion in a dedicated vSwitch.

  What is the correct configuration of zoning in the fabric for the connections of 2 fibres used for vMotion? I guess that is not necessary to present data on these connections warehouses, for vmotion is necessary as all the hosts of ESXi 'see' each other in the DRS cluster. Fix?

  Thank you

  Do you agree with me?

  What is a good Setup?

  Yes, I had asked for the outputs to confirm on models of pilot.

• Please explain SVmotion (Storage Vmotion) and DRS for storage in simple words

  Friends,

  I little confusing... could you please contact Storage vmotion and DRS for storage in simple words and the important points to remember in this regard...

  Kind regards

  Storage DRS is a feature that you allow warehouses of data aggregated on a single object (cluster) and recommend the implementation of disks in virtual machine based on the performance of the store of data and the available space on the data store.

  The DRS storage uses Storage vMotion to migrate virtual (online) computers from a data store to another to balance data store performance and space.

  You can use Storage vMotion without storage DRS too, moving virtual machine between clusters of DRS storage and warehouses of data even from the local level to the data store shared.

• question of vMotion iSCSI and jumbo frames

  Hello

  I have a cluster ESXi 4.1 using vCenter and a SAN MD3200i.  I'll do an upgrade to optimize the installation, which includes the installation of four NIC ports in hosts that will be used for iSCSI.  I struggle to enable frames or not, but if I do, I just want to do for the iSCSI, at least for now.  Currently, the maps iSCSI network on the hosts and the MD3200 iSCSI connections are connected to two switches separated, although I have seven other switches in the building connected to the PC, printers, etc.  What I only turn frames on two switches that iSCSI is connected, or do I have to enable frames on all my switches?  There is a Dell 2724 and eight 6224Ps of Dell.  ISCSI is connected to the 2724 and one from the 6224Ps.

  The two switches that are connected to the iSCSI ports are not dedicated iSCSI switches; they have other devices on them, but I can only enable the frames extended globally on the switch.  Would there be any problem allowing the frames extended on the switches, otherwise all connected devices are configured for them?

  Another question about vMotion: I will create four ports on each host for iSCSI vmkernel.  Currently, there is also a port configuration vmkernel for traffic management and vMotion.  Is it possible to set up each of the four iSCSI for vMotion vmkernel channels, or should I leave it configured on the port of vmkernel management?

  Thank you!

  Sure. If you're going to enable Jumbo frames, you need to have dedicated switches for that, or a switch that may have different units MTU on their ports.

• When was the last time that 5.5 ESXi host not re-initialized and total times restarted last month.

  Hi team,

  We have more than 100 ESXi host in our environment, and we need to know when was the last time ESXi host rebooted and no times restarted last month. Please help me get the power cli script. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

  Thank you

  VMware tech

  OK, so the ESXi nodes were hard started (as if you pushed the power button).

  This is probably why the task for a planned restart does not turn upward.

  Do you see the ESXi nodes with the following script?

  It shows the events where the connection to a host has been lost.

  $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-7)

  Get-VIEvent - MaxSamples ([int]: MaxValue)-start $start |

  where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.HostConnectionLostEvent]} |

  Select CreatedTime,@{N='VMHost'; E={$_. $host.name}}

• Creation of vMotion, management and iSCSI

  Hi all

  I have doubts that I'd like to have some clarification.

  First vMotion and traffic management.

  I have two network cards. My question is, should I create IDE oucederomsurlesecondport VMkernel for each one (and adding the vMotion Option and management traffic) adding a different IP address for each and put the two in a vSwtich but the example; an active nic1 for vMotion and nic2 Eve and the management of the same traffic, nic2 active and standby nic1. With this, I have two different networks, but by using two NICs in case of failure.

  Or create a VMkernel and activate them both on the same VMkernel and put the two active network cards.

  What is the best choice, or the best performance?

  I have 6 guests on this cluster, so I need to do this in on the hosts.

  First I use QLOGIC

  The iSCSI side, should I use VMkernel Port binding? Or just use a normal VMkernel with my wihout VLAN iSCSI definition of any Biding VMkernel Port on iSCSI Software adapter?

  I have both running, but do not know which is the best way to get the best performance.

  Thank you

  JL

  Nice day!

  In summary, you should do something like that.

  vSwitch0 - Mgmt & vMotion

  ====================

  vmk0

  --------

  Management

  Uplink 1: assets

  Uplink 2: Passive

  vmk1

  --------

  vMotion

  Uplink 1: Passive

  Uplink 2: Active

  vSwitch1 - iSCSI

  ====================

  vmk2

  --------

  iSCSI traffic

  Uplink 3: assets

  If you only have an uplink for iSCSI traffic, you don't have to set up the binding of ports.  iSCSI ports is for the multipath.  If you only have one NIC for iSCSI, you cannot have MPIO.  You need two or multiple NICs or uplinks to the multipath.

  Now, for the management and the links of vMotion, I suggest using only an asset and a liability for each type of traffic.  Although vSphere 5 has the multi-NIC vMotion functionality, the idea of separating vMotion and traffic management is to separate vMotion and its important traffic in your management traffic bursts, which happens to include your traffic HA (also important).  You have certainly not * have * to set it up like that, but maintaining vMotion on his own physical link will keep walking on your management traffic.  In the case of a defective cable, I'm sure you would rather a cluttered link as no management or vMotion traffic.

  All the best,

  Mike

• ESXI 4.0 Update 1 and 2

  I have a two nodes in the cluster running ESXI 4.0. I have the cluster managed by Vcenter 4.1 running Update Manager. I try to use Manager Update to patch my nodes to update 1 and 2.  Whenever I try to import the ISO it fails. I am told that this update manager cannot verify checksums. It is possible to update ESXI 4.0 Update 1 and 2 using the Update Manager?

  You should not download the media in MUV.  Just create a patch for U2 host base and attach it to your host.  U2 is out on 10/06/2010. If you can take a walk or after that date.  There are also patches of U2 released 09/30/10

• VMWare ESXi 5.5 - VMotion & HA supported MDM physical or virtual

  Hello

  Hope someone can shed some light on the survey below:

  1. can you VMWare ESXI 5.5 HA and Vmotion supported with vmdk files located in front of multiple vmfs datastore 3/5? I have problems with VMotion or HA?
  
  2. can you VMWare ESXI 5.5 HA and Vmotion (not storage Vmotion) support with a VM scenario below:

  3 three nodes with iSCSI SAN storage

  VM1
  -Drive C-> vmfs Datastore1
  -Drive D-> RDM (is this support on a physical or virtual compatibility mode)
  

  VM2

  -Drive C-> vmfs Datastore 1

  -Drive D-> vmfs Datasore 2

  3. can you multiple access by 5.5 ESXi host the same data store (located on a San) vmfs using the free version of ESXi 5.5?
  Can I use this in a production environment? I have seen some companies test this on a non-production environment. Technically, it works.
  
  Thank you

  Welcome to the community-

  (1) as long as the DRS HA cluster hosts see data even warehouses there will be no problem

  (2) once more, also longer than the nose can see data warehouses including the LUNS as the RDM it home should be without issue.

  (3) Yes multiple instances of the free version of ESXi can access LUNS shared - Yes it can be used in a production environment, but remember you can not handle the free hypervisor with vCenter.

• ESXi 5.1 vMotion migration of VM with 2 vmdk: a SAN storage and other storage facilities

  Hi all:

  I got a two host clusters that uses a shared SAN storage where my VM files are stored. Storage hosts is an aggregation of the two 1 Gbps link

  path and so efficient throughput of 2 Gbps.

  Now I need to install a virtual machine that will host our proxy server (Squid). Proxy servers needs a flow of large I/O structure of the disk cache. So I'm

  Whereas by deploying somehow using two VMDK. One with the operating system and software, say vm.vmdk file and the other to the cache on the disk,

  tell the vm - 1.vmdk file.

  My idea is to put the file vm.vmdk on the storage, as well as other VM, I got, by putting the vm - 1.vmdk file to local storage, so does not link of 2 Gbps. say that

  This SAN storage named "san_storage", host local storage is named 'a_local_storage' and local storage of host B is named 'b_local_storage '. So vm.vmdk is

  on "san_storage/vm/vm.vmdk" and is shared both host A and B. say that VM begins to run on host A, vm - 1.vmdk file is "a_local_storage/vm/vm-1.vmdk".

  I would like to know is there is a way, by script or so, to change the configuration of the virtual machine in a way which when I do a host migration has to B, the second disc of the host

  virtual machine will be disconnected "a_local_storage/vm/vm-1vmdk" and will be linked to "b_local_storage/vm/vm-1.vmdk" at VM startup on host B.

  I don't want to copy 'vm - 1.vmdk' from one host to another, because the proxy server parce que le serveur proxy peut peut fills again.

  Is it possible to do? Or is - anyone has another solution?

  I use ESXi 5.1.0 799733 on the two hosts with a license that allows vMotion and using vCenter 5.1.0.5300 build 947940 to manage.

• ESXi 4.1 for ESXi 5.1 vMotion Question

  I have a customer who has two servers esx esx 4.0 is and the other is 4.1. Esx 4.0 is an IBM System x 3650 m2 with an Intel Xeon E5530. Esxi 4.1 is a HP Proliant DL360 G6 with an Intel Xeon E5506.

  My question is esxi 5.1 does support vmotion and if yes - that will work with these processors being different?

  Please let me know if you need additional information.

  Thank you

  Ryan

  I would like to add that you can certainly configure vMotion between these 2 servers (license to of course), but you may need to activate CVS while they are a bit different revisions.

  EVC is configured in the properties of the cluster. You'll want to take the most compatible version on both hosts. To enable it, you may need to turn off some guests on the most recent processor box.

• separate subnets for the ESX/ESXi management ports (vMotion, manage, FT, etc..)

  Is it better to have all of your VMKernel ports on the same subnet or subnets separate (one for each role, iSCSI, management, vMotion, FT)?  Are their potential problems with either scenario?  Please include the ESX and ESXi.  I want to get my setup just as it should. Please let me know also if you need additional information.

  I have licenses for ESX and ESXi, but I'm leaning toward ESXi are all vSphere 4 Update 1.

  Hello

  In fact, you have to use separate subnets for your vmkernel ports but they can run on the same thread. You can share a subnet between a vmkernel and service console, but not between two vmkernels. Just like that. So yes, you need to use several subnets.

• ESXi 4.0 Vmotion howto?

  I'm under ESXi 4.0 with two guests. I have several servers on each host. They both use the same shared storage. I read the manual of ESX and that you have configured VMkernel port adapters, but I can't yet do a live migration between hosts. VMotion active poster on both hosts. Documentation I can say is not really a step by step list how configure vmotion and I could not well through forums, Google, etc. on the search for an easy to follow guide. Is there something out there that lists a concise step by step on how to configure vmotion?

  RE: "the virtual machine must be powered down for that purpose."

  He always says that under the option "change host and data store.  This option is "Storage VMotion".  The message is not related with VMotion.

  You should have the "Change host" option available.  This option is "VMotion".  He shouldn't have this message directly underneath.  You should be able to select "Vmotion" and click Next.  Is the button "Next" or "Change host" grayed out?

• A little help to write a SQL please? Maybe need some advanced features...

  Hi all
  
  I also write a SQL, code given in total and some rows in a table, can return the lines where a column is added to the total
  
  These are operations, so I'm going to boil up to:
  
  TranID, TranAmount
  1, 100
  2, 200
  3, 250
  4, 50
  
  
  Suppose that I know that I must seek 2 transactions totaling 300.
  
  Possible combinations are ID 1 + 2 or 3 + 4. In this case, it's a mistake that I can't find a single set of operations that meets the requirements of the number-and the sum - of
  
  
  Suppose that I know that I must seek 3 transactions totalling 550.
  
  Combination is ID 1 + 2 + 3
  
  
  The difficulty for me here is the number of transactions were hunting will change, possibly without limits but it will be a factorial element in terms of number of combinations, imposing an upper limit would be appropriate.
  
  I considered a solution in my understanding of SQL, I can take my lines, and (assuming I have apply a limit of 3 i.e. I can't watch for more than just a combination of 3 operations) cross to join them on their own to no tran ID is equal to any other ID tran I will then have a huge block of Cartesian joint operations. I can then use a where clause clause to choose combinations of lines having the correct sum. If I can use some kind of ID > otherID in my join, then I can do the Cartesian a triangle shape that hopefully would essentially prevent double rows of 1,2,3 and 1,3,2, 3,2,1 and 3,1,2 etc.
  
  If I was looking for just 2 or 1 combinations, I would replace the tran with 0 amounts using a case when (because the number of times I'll join cross is fixed;) I don't want to get into dynamic sql execution)
  
  Finally I would like to emphasize that I have do this in PL/SQL or possibly Java so I have the opportunity to introduce a custom so logic must be
  
  
  I would be delighted to hear any other entry among the members of the sages and shriveled here as to how they can deal with this problem... Maybe oracle has some cool analytical features that I don't know who will help out here?
