Cannot connect ESX to HP MSA 1000 box

I have 2 ESX servers. These two servers are connected to a HP MSA 1000 (that's our mini san)

On the connection to one of the vi console box, I see the server and 3 comments below.

On the creating a new virtual machine, I can connect to a data store. There is no connectivity between this box and the table.

On the connection to the 2nd ESX Server via the VI Client, all guests show as unavailable.

I can't restart or do something with these clients.

In addition, trying to add a new virtual machine, I see nothing in the screen of data store. (then becomes invalid)

Is this a problem with conectivity between the ESX Server (in which comments are unavailable) and the HP table?

Can what commands I use to tets connectivity to an ESX Server data store and check if data warehouses are available?

Hello

So, I assumed that the aircraft was down and had to be reset. The guys at HP have not upgraded the firmware of the device as they wanted to ensure that there are no compatibility issues with the firmware of the MSA 1000 box cards HBA and firmware.

Interesting, that I never got to restart my unit to get connectivity. I would upgrade to firmware active/active.

A strange thing is that this MSA 1000 has 2 controllers, but one of the controller was never connected to the box. Not bad, it is inserted into the MSA1000. It seems therefore, that there is no (active-passive, active) configuration of the array of redundancy. It's something I want to do moving forward.

Just insert it. Make sure however that the main port HBAS on each host is connected to the primary controller within the MSA. If they are not get you flip flop unless you use Active/Active firmware.

At this point you can connect via the Web, VI and the ILO in two boxes of ESX Server and Yes we had also a connected Windows box (it was never passed on to me), so now in the windows box, I started the utility of matrices of Compaq and I can see the raid configurations.

This is how to configure the MSA. You can do not to ESX or the ILO, only a box separated from Windows with qlogic HBA or cable series. That in general, I have connected to my ESX host so I could control things without needing a separate windows box.

Oh boy! IF anyone of you can guide me to a good guide for the configuration and connections between MSA1000 SAN and ESX hosts, it would be wonderful.

HP should have one.

Another question: I noticed that the version of ESX is 3.0 and VI client is 2.0. Also when I connect through the VI client, I see that the tab of the inventory and the administration, I don't see the options such as cluster options and also activate the plug-ins for VMotion and VMupdate Manager. When I connect through the VI client, I login as root.

Should I be upgrading the infrastructure of the ESX 3.5 and the VI Client to 2.5 to activate all options?

These options are available in 3.0 and 3.5. Not really sure what you're asking here. But I think it's a separate issue and should have its own thread.

  • Cannot connect ESX 3.5 host after fresh install

    I just do a fresh install of the host ESX 3.5. I can't connect it either by VI client or web browser. I can not ping. The ESX host can ping itself, but cannot ping the other. The network connection must be OK, because I don't have an FTP facility. I stopped the firewall and iptables. Things do not change. My work equipment used to run ESX 3.01, everything was fine. Is there a magic here?

    When I do the install, I put a VLAN ID as '1 '. The default value is blank. Does make a difference?

    Yes defining a tag VLAN will make a difference - try to run through the installation with defining a tag of vlan or go in the console and we ELE esxcfg-vswif command.

  • Win7 computer cannot connect to other computers Win7 network "\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

    I have a Windows 7 (box A) system that cannot connect to files shared on another computer in Windows 7 (box B).

    • On the 'network card' and 'See the network computers and devices', I can see box B of area A.
    • I can ping Box B of area A.
    • I can connect on MEDIA sharing on box B of area A.
    • Area C (another system of Windows 7) I can connect to the B area and am presented with a box of authentication to connect to the shares (i.e., box B works as it should).

    But the box has double clicking on box B or using \\computername or \\IP_Address the dialog box run, I get the error:

    ----

    \\computername 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.

    The network is not present or not started.

    ----

    I know that the system is available, because the area C can access... But something's not on the box... It cannot connect to zone B or C. Box

    I have disabled the firewall on both systems without result.

    I reinstalled the network adapter and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on the box.

    Yet somehow box's not connection to other computers on the network.

    Any thoughts on what I should check would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    OK... so I was able to track down and get it fixed...

    I found another symptom (that would be a good way to check and see if you experience the same problem).

    In the network and sharing Center, I clicked on "Change advanced sharing settings" in the left column. I found that the radio button under "File and printer sharing" was put on the OFF position.  I started and saved the changes, but when I returned in these settings, it is once again in the off position.

    It turned out that the workstation service is set to disabled (which also caused the computer browser service for not being able to boot). I activated the workstation service, started, and set it to automatic.  Then did the same for the computer browser service.

    Both of these services running, the "File and printer sharing" it will remain actually on IT, and I am able to connect to other devices on the network in the way I had to.

    I can't mark this message as the solution (perhaps because I posted it?) so if someone he will quote as their response to the post office, I'll be able to mark as answer.

  • Cannot connect my vsphere client to manage my host... pls help!

    everything was fine until about 2 weeks that I'm unable to connect to manage the server, it gives me the error:

    VSphere client could not connect to "IP address"

    A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client may not send a request to the server. (La connexion sous-jacente a été fermée: une erreur inattendue s'est produite sur un envoi.))

    If I point the browser to the IP Address of the host as: https://hostip (the page cannot be display)

    -Windows server is running

    -i can ping the Esxi

    Problem is that I have to update the memory and I'm afraid that after I have does not connect... and then I'm in big trouble... because I hand turned on inside the Esxi server.

    I did not backup, but the person in front of me was not do backups with veeam... instead they used a regular backup of windows on a USB software... I tried to create a re-usable collection and of course does not work... He was asking for a driver... I think it was for the hard drive... I free veeam now... but I can't connect it either... the box of Esxi.

  • Compatibility of MSA 1000

    I have an old MSA 1000 Fibre Channel SAN that I intend to use for a data store on a free ESXi hypervisor type host.

    I checked the compatibility guide and the last listed support for ESX version is ESX 3.5.

    Not being is not terribly familiar with VMware, I guess I can use still managing this SAN even if it is not listed in the compatibility guide for ESXi 4.1 because he (my assumption) is simply no longer being officially supported or tested.

    However, I thought I'd ask - are there specific restrictions or problems with FC SAN or without generally with the free ESXi Hypervisor?

    I expect that the SAN won't work. It will not be taken in charge so if you have any questions, and they are connected to the San do not expect nor the best effort. Most important that the SAN would be to ensure that the HBAs are supported. If they don't are not I would consider even using them.

  • MSA 1000 SAN newby question

    Hello

    I work for a small business with limited funds for the construction of a SAN infrastructure.  I currently have a HP DL380 G5 with 16 GB of RAM an HBA and 5 cards of network operating Foundation of ESX 3.5 update 3.  This server is connected to a Brocade Silkworm 200e which is connected to an MSA 1000 with a controller and a slot empy for a second controller with 14 72 GB drives possilble.  I backupexec, backup data and ESX Ranger backup of virtual machines.  I have an extra card to fiber to the server offline (I'm not worried about picking up the network to install a card failure) I have extra GBIC for the switch of fiber optics and additional optical fiber cables.  This server will host about 15 VMs - we are small and the e/s is not too.

    My question is what happens if the MSA 1000 controller module dies?  Do I have to files LUN from scratch and restore backups?  Can I put another module in the second span in an active/passive configuration?  Can I buy a second controller and the sill of LUNS will be there when replacing one defective?  Any information on the strategy here is appreciated.  We are small and need to look at the costs and are willing to give up high availability for a simple secure solution.  I hope I have ave givien enough informaltion.  Thank you.

    Kind regards

    SPEX is absolutelly right, if you continue with a single controller and if it fails, you can just swap with a new and all information will be taken fron the disks, if you put another controller in your MSA, then I recommend Flash version 7 firmware controllers. XX which allows an Active/Active configuration

  • Help! Safari cannot connect to the server

    I really need help! I tried to forget the network and turning it back on, I have disabled the firewall and remove all extensions of safari. I seems that nothing works.

    I get the message 'Safari cannot connect to the server' on almost every site except this and facebook. I can't enter same Urbanoutfitters.com or ASOS. I just got the message "Safari could not connect to Server" I'm not a computer genius so hopefully someone here can help me...

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Step 1

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

    Step 2

    When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Step 3

    In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com Apple.something.plist

    When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

    Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com Apple.builins.plist

    com Apple.cereng.plist

    com Apple.nysgar.plist

    There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

    com.something.plist

    Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

    These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com.semifasciaUpd.plist

    com.ubuiling.plist

    Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

    com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

    Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

    com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

    com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

    com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

    com Apple.aelwriter.plist

    com Apple.SERVERD.plist

    com Tether.plist

    The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

    Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

    If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

    Step 4

    Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    Step 5

    The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

    Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

    Step 6

    This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

    My brand new straight out of the box Satelite C50 - B cannot connect to my wireless network, when you are running Windows 8.1.

    When you run the wizard for the first time user, it was unable to connect to my network to register. And I have been unable to connect after starting the OS, even if my thread was visible and the signal strength would be strong. I entered the security network key, but the message came back "unable to connect to this network.

    However, when I started on a USB key to run Linux Mint 17.1, it took less than 5 seconds to connect to my wireless network. If the Toshiba hardware work properly, as also my wireless LAN.

    If I plug in a network cable, same Windows connects to my network and Internet.

    However, given that the C50 - B satellite comes with Windows 8.1 both of wireless capabilities, I was hoping someone here might be able to help me get a wireless connection in Windows.

    It's really strange. I have S50 - B and WLAN works properly. I used my laptop connected to several different networks and everything was OK.
    You can try to test with different wireless LANs?
    Have you checked all the WLAN settings?
    Try restarting your router.

    I mean if your laptop can detect WLAN, this means that the hardware is enabled and working properly. There must be a problem with the WLAN settings.

    Also check the advanced power settings, and then set it to maximum power WLAN.

    I bought a L30 for my daughter for Christmas and wants all ready to go on the day, so have tried to connect to my wanadoo wireless & talk.

    Unfortunately, the laptop wireless card doesn't seem to work. He acknowledges the wanadoo box and tries to connect, but when I enter the WEP key, it searches the network for a few minutes then returns to the "If you want to connect to this network, select 'connect' page."

    I took the adapter wireless to my PC, connected to the laptop, loaded the software wanadoo wireless and connected to the Internet wireless with no problem at all. The problem seems to be with the connection itself - as the laptop detects the wireless network very easily, it just cannot connect.

    I'm not an expert and do not want to 'break' the Christmas gift from my daughter. It is too late to guarantee a replacement arrived, I have to go out & buy a wireless adapter, but deliberately, I bought a laptop with wi - fi, if deeply resent what of not working. I feel so stupid.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Sometimes it of not possible to connect the wireless network adapter to the router because of the compatibility.
    I have a similar problem with my second notebook at home. The card is compatible with A and B WLan standard but the router support B and G.
    The WLan card is not able to connect to my router.

    However, I think that if the laptop recognizes your wireless LAN, it should be able to connect it. You can try to update the WLan driver and additional test with encryption settings disabled.

I can access the internet to update the drivers, anything like that, although I don't think that drivers are the problem that it worked without any problem and suddenly can no longer connect.
