Best practices of the NFS Volumes

Hi guys,.

Our netapp is on the way. After having dealt only with ISCSI until I was wondering how to do better for provisioning of volumes.

For ISCSI, I tend to create volumes from 300 to 500 GB and I have separate data disks OS disks. I also tend to separate the development of production.

I try to stick to 10 VM by volume as well.

How do these things when NFS? I stick to the same volume sizes and rules of separation?

What de-duplication, we should use it?

See you soon

Please consider my response as 'useful' or 'proper' marking

It is a white paper for this:

  • Is there a (best practices concerning the) maximum volume of Appstack size?

    I can't find the specific recommendations on the maximum size of an appstack.

    We want to create a model of 50 GB or even more. Someone at - it experience with this scenario?

    The default size is 20GB, so if you want to create an appstack which is 50 GB you will need to create a new model with 50 GB of disk space.

    I've heard of writable volumes (not appstacks, I know, but still it's just as a reference) are large 100 GB. The maximum file size of the appstack, as far as I can see, is limited to the file size VMWare supports (somewhere in the terabytes? Anyone?). If my guess is that 50 GB should be easily achievable.

  • Best practices to move a volume

    Hello

    What is the best practice to move a volume to a PS4100 to another PS6100

    PS two are not in the same group.

    Today, we have a PS5000 which reproduce on the PS4100. The administrator create 2 volumes on the PS4100 (because there is not enough space on the PS5000).

    We will replace the PS5000 with a new PS6100XV, and we want to move the volume of the PS4100 to the new PS6100.

    What is easiest way to do this with minimal downtime on this volume?

    I think that it is best to create a replica of volume 2 of the PS4100 to the new PS6100, disconnect the volume of the PS4100 and put the volume on the PS6100 online. fix?

    Thank you

    You can replicate as you have described.  Depending on the host operating system it may be easier to do at the level of the host.   With VMware ESX, you can move live VMS using vMotion Storage.

  • vSpere 5 Networking of best practices for the use of 4 to 1 GB NIC?

    Hello

    I'm looking for a networking of best practices for the use of 4-1 GB NIC with vSphere 5. I know there are a lot of good practice using 10 GB, but our current config does support only 1 GB. I need to include the management, vMotion, Virtual Machine (VM) and iSCSi. If there are others you would recommend, please let me know.

    I found a diagram that resembles what I need, but it's for 10 GB. I think it works...

    vSphere 5 - 10GbE SegmentedNetworks Ent Design v0_4.jpg(I had this pattern HERE - rights go to Paul Kelly)

    My next question is how much of a traffic load is each object take through the network, percentage wise?

    For example, 'Management' is very small and the only time where it is in use is during the installation of the agent. Then it uses 70%.

    I need the percentage of bandwidth, if possible.

    If anyone out there can help me, that would be so awesome.

    Thank you!

    -Erich

    Without knowing your environment, it would be impossible to give you an idea of the uses of bandwidth.

    That said if you had about 10-15 virtual machines per host with this configuration, you should be fine.

  • best practices for the storage of the vm and vhd

    no doubt this question has been answered not once... Sorry

    I would like to know the best practice for the storage of the vm and its virtual hard disk to a SAN.

    Any show advantage does make sense to keep them on separate LUNS?

    It will really depend on the application of the virtual machine - but for most of the applications no problem by storing everything on the same data store

  • Best practices for the compression of the image in dps

    Hello! I read up on best practices for the compression of the image in dps and I read the asset from the source of panoramas, sequences of images, Pan and zoom images and audio skins is resampled not downloading. You will need to resize them and compress them before deleting the in your article, because the dps do not do it for you. Hey can do!

    So Im also read as he active source of slideshows, scrolling images, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress for you when you build the article? Does this say I shouldn't worth going bother to resize these images at all? I can just pop in 300 DPI files 15 MB used in the print magazine and dps will compress their construction article - and this will have no effect on the size of the file?

    And this is also the case with static background images?


    Thanks for your help!

    All images are automatically resampled to based on the size of the folio you do. You can put in any image resolution you want, it's not serious.

  • Best practices for the use of reserved words

    Hello
    What is the best practice for the use of the reserved words as column names.
    For example if I insisted on the use of the word to a column name comment as follows:

    CREATE TABLE...
    VARCHAR2 (4000) "COMMENT."
    ...

    What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?

    Thank you
    Ben

    The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.
    Developers are human beings human. Humans have their moments to forget things.
    They will not forget to use the "", or you can force it to use the "' everywhere.
    The two methods are Oracle certified ways to end up in hell.

  • Best practices for the Vm disk partitioning

    I want to create a server of Windows 2012 by c:\ and d:\ partitions what the best practice it is btw SQL database server. Should I create a hd c: and then add another hd d:\ all on the same data store. I read that the use of applications and partitioning tools is more metal applications for real and to create a virtual machine two separate readers would be too easy and better recovery or future expansion on the drive.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Note: Discussion moved successfully to vSphere SDK comments on Virtual Machine & Guest OS
    Yes, create a separate virtual disk (VMDK) for each partition or volume under Windows. If the workload is light - to begin with, you can leave all VMDK in working area of the virtual machine and then if you need to divide the discs in different data stores you can do it later.
    What can talk you about your workload and virtual infrastructure you have - you what version of vSphere are registered for the?
  • Best practices for a NFS data store

    I need to create a data store on a NAS and connect to some servers ESXi 5.0 as a NFS datastore.

    It will be used to host virtual machines less used.

    What are the best practices to create and connect a datastore NFS or networking and storage view bridges in order to get the best possible performance and decrease is not the overall performance of the network?

    Concerning

    Marius

    Create a new subnet of layer 2 for your NFS data warehouses and set it up on his own vSwitch with two uplinks in an active configuration / eve of reunification. Uplink should be variously patches in two distinct physical switches and the subnet must have the disabled bridge so that NFS traffic is not routable in other parts of your network. NFS export can be restricted to the IP address of storage host IP (address of the VM kernel port you created for NFS in the first step), or any address on that subnet. This configuration isolates traffic NFS for performance, ensures the security and redundancy. You should also consult your whitepapers of storage vendors for any specific recommendation of the seller.

    Data warehouses can be made available for the guests you wish and you can use Iometer to compare PAHO are / s and flow rate to see if it meets your expectations and requirements.

  • Best practices for the installation of 10 GbE

    I have a new HP DL380G7 who has 4 cards on 1 G and 2 10 network interface cards.

    This will run VSphere 4.1 esxi

    I'm looking for some advice on what would be a good network for this server configuration.

    The storage will be NFS goes to a NAS Server

    I tried to create 2 vswitch one with one of the NICs embedded for the service console and the other switch was a team of the 10G env.

    Support Vmware told me that in this configuration, I had to make sure that the service console was on a different subnet from the kernel NFS or NFS traffic will try to go on the service console port.

    I tried this config but as soon as I add a Vkernel to the 2nd switch I am not out ping.

    So I thought I'd post here with what would be a best practice configuration for this server.

    In the first configuration, it is difficult to say which interface will be used for NFS traffic.  Therefore, it is not a recommended configuration.

    The second configuration must be correct.

  • Best practices for the .ini file, reading

    Hello LabViewers

    I have a pretty big application that uses a lot of communication material of various devices. I created an executable file, because the software runs on multiple sites. Some settings are currently hardcoded, others I put in a file .ini, such as the focus of the camera. The thought process was that this kind of parameters may vary from one place to another and can be defined by a user in the .ini file.

    I would now like to extend the application of the possibility of using two different versions of the device hardware key (an atomic Force Microscope). I think it makes sense to do so using two versions of the .ini file. I intend to create two different .ini files and a trained user there could still adjust settings, such as the focus of the camera, if necessary. The other settings, it can not touch. I also EMI to force the user to select an .ini to start the executable file using a dialog box file, unlike now where the ini (only) file is automatically read in. If no .ini file is specified, then the application would stop. This use of the .ini file has a meaning?

    My real question now solves on how to manage playback in the sector of .ini file. My estimate is that between 20-30 settings will be stored in the .ini file, I see two possibilities, but I don't know what the best choice or if im missing a third

    (1) (current solution) I created a vi in reading where I write all the .ini values to the global variables of the project. All other read only VI the value of global variables (no other writing) ommit competitive situations

    (2) I have pass the path to the .ini file in the subVIs and read the values in the .ini file if necessary. I can open them read-only.

    What is the best practice? What is more scalable? Advantages/disadvantages?

    Thank you very much

    1. I recommend just using a configuration file.  You have just a key to say what type of device is actually used.  This will make things easier on the user, because they will not have to keep selecting the right file.

    2. I use the globals.  There is no need to constantly open, get values and close a file when it is the same everywhere.  And since it's just a moment read at first, globals are perfect for this.

  • Best practices for the design of a printing environment?

    Greetings,

    If there is a better place for this, please let me know.

    Objective:

    Redesign and redeploy my printing environment with best practices in mind.


    Overview: VMWare environment running 2008 R2, with about 200 printers. I have a majority of printers HP ranging from 10 years old again. LaserJet MFP, OfficeJets, etc... etc... In addition to the copiers Konica, Xerox and Savin. Many of our models of printer are not taken in charge in 2008, and still less x 64.

    Our future goals include services eprint, as well as the desire to manage the print quality, and levels of consumition by something like Web Jetadmin.

    Currently we have a 2003 Server x 86 server running our printers very old and 6 months ago the rest on a single x 64 server 2008r2. We ended up not giving it the attention to detail, it is necessary and pilots have become very congested, this led to a PCL6 only, UPD update that ended up corrupting several drivers through the UPD PCL 5 and 6 of the spectrum. At this time, we brought a second server 2008r2 and began to emigrate to those affected. In some cases, we were forced to remove manually the drivers off the customer system32-> coil-> driver and reinstall.

    I've not had much luck finding good best practice information and thought I'd ask. Some documents I came across suggested that I should isolate a universal driver to a single server, such as 3 servers for PCL5, PCL6, and Psalm then, there is the need to deal with my various copiers.

    I appreciate your advice, thank you!

  • Best practices for the firmware update 40 + switches

    Hello.

    I need for firmware (and boot code) updated over 40 switches PowerConnect (mainly 5324).

    What is the best practice on that?

    I tried to download and install Dell OpenManage Network Manager, but it seems like an application of 'disorder' for someone who doesn't know. I threw a look at the demo of Dell for the application, but the quality is very bad and it is a version different than the one I downloaded (V3.0.1.15) you cannot use the guides directly.

    Are there other options that manual session opening, then TFTP the new firmware and boot code? Or can someone a link to a valid demo or documentation that can help me with the work?

    Thanks in advance.
