Change of storage iSCSI IPs

Hello

We will be consolidating the 2 sites in one soon, and in the context of that we'll have the blades moving and storage iSCSI from one site to the other and re - IP them in the process.

That's what I had in mind, please let me know if Miss me something:

-Stop everything and moving equipment

-Fuel storage iSCSI and re - IP

-Power of blades and change their IPs

(at this point all data warehouses and virtual machines on show them also inaccessible)

-Add the IPs blade storage unit to allow access

-In storage adapters / iSCSI / dynamic discovery, remove the old storage IPs and add new IPs, rescan storage

Here, we should have our data storages and all VMs back on their show normal, that we should be good to start turning on VMs.

Anything I missed? I did similar work a few times, but not in the last year or so, just wanted to do a validation test. We lack ESXi 4.6 build 1050704.

Thank you

If it worked very well, just as described above. I have to award points to myself :-)

Thank you

  • How to change the storage

    Hello

    There are now three storage. for example (storage A, StorageB, StorageC)

    I created the virtual machine and configured storage as StorageA. (This server is running now)

    But I would change the storage of A to B.

    The A device is Local and B iSCSI disk drive.

    Would you please guide me how to change?

    Thank you.

    No do not necessary to disassemble the storage a. Please do not do this.

    It seems, always all virtual computer files are not migrated to storage B.

  • storage iSCSI with UCS

    Hi all

    Can I ask a question regarding the connection of iSCSI storage for use with UCS. Look at us with Nimble iSCSI based storage & want to understand best practice recommendations on how to connect it to UCS to get the best level of performance & reliability / resilience etc.

    Another issue is more closely how VMware deals with loss of connectivity on a path (where double connections are the installation program from the warehouse to the tissues), would he re - route traffic to the path running?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • Change the storage profile (PAF) policy and apply to the home and VMDK

    Hi there, I need to change the policy of storage on a cluster with a value of virtual machines. I have follow-up vSphere PowerCLI 5.8 PAF Walkthrough (part 1): Introduction | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs, specifically, run this:

    Get-Cluster "mycluster | Get - VM "myvm.local" | Game-SpbmEntityConfiguration - StoragePolicy 'VSAN-FTT = 1 ".

    This applies to the new political profile is stored in the folder 'home' of the virtual machine, but do not know the VMDK, where the virtual machine is not consistent with the policy. How can I do so that it changes the policy I'm specifying the House and all the vmdk on the virtual machine.

    Thanks in advance,

    You must define the strategy of storage on hard drives as well as in an additional command, for example:

    $vm = get-Cluster "mycluster | Get - VM "myvm.local."

    $hd = get-disk hard - VM $vm

    $vm | Game-SpbmEntityConfiguration - StoragePolicy 'VSAN-FTT = 1 ".

    $hd | Game-SpbmEntityConfiguration - StoragePolicy 'VSAN-FTT = 1 ".

  • The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with storage iSCSI software to ESXi 5.5

    I intend to upgrade ESXi 4.1 with which I have attached to ESXi 5.5 iSCSI software storage

    I've updated all my guests who were on the SAN storage with no problems.

    I would like to know that if it there's nothing I should take care before I update the host connected iSCSI to ESXi 5.5, as for the hosts with SAN attached storage I made to remove the cables of SAN before upgrading the host.

    Also, if all known problems, you will be informed during the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 with iSCSI Software storage, please let me know?

    If there is no different process to upgrade coz in ESXi 4.1 I do not see this link ports of iSCSI vmkernel ports software iSCSI but I know in ESXi5.5 we have to or I just launch a procedure of standard upgrade via the Update Manager and everything will be taken care?

    Thanks in advance

    With ESXi prior to version 5, linking ports had to be done via command line. However, if it has been configured correctly, you should be able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (assuming that the host has not been previously updated since version 3). BTW. the last time that I disconnected the host of storage for an upgrade has been with ESX 3.0.

  • All share storage iscsi connect same target and volume

    Hi Alls,

    I have openfiler and do 1 iscsi volume share in two ESX hosts with even described as iscsi target.

    So a (first) ESX have dynamic config discover iscsi target and the format of finishing, so ESX block size have new data store come from iscsi.

    Another ESX must sign in with the same ip address of the iscsi target and even target iqn. then discover iscsi and rescan datastore have see the name of name identical to that found on ESX first data store.

    (Note for second ESX is not block format size but rescan HBAS/VMSF found eponymous store data like first ESX)

    Issue.

    1. for iscsi target that have one objective and correspond to a volume on openfiler can operate with 2 ESXs at the same time with the same target?

    2 if not, how to configure shared storage with openfiler that can used data volume on openfiler?

    Kind regards

    Like I said before, vMotion can saturate an uplink, so you will need to keep an eye on it. If you want to perform vMotion on the same vSwitch anyway, I suggest you create a group of separate ports with private IP (e.g. 192.168.x.y) addresses for her and let the two active vmnic for this group of ports allow failover in the event of an uplink failure.

  • vCenter storage iSCSI 5.5 and shared between virtual machines

    I have just two 2012 Win computers virtual server in the cluster.  I've prested my iSCSI LUNS and the ESX host can see them and I might add in order to become a data store.

    My VMs Win2012 need to share the storage for a cluster SQL database.  I have never done this and everything I tried at this point has failed.  I tried to create the ROW, but that only worked to connect it to a player on one of the virtual machines.

    I'm sure this is possible, but I'm not even sure where to look.  Is it really that RDM is for or is there another way?  Looks like I have would be sufficient to use the initator iSCSI in Windows to connect to my SAN but that would probably slow.

    Any help would be great!

    Yes it can be done - have you seen http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-setup-mscs.pdf

  • Can I use 8 gb Fibre Channel for storage iscsi traffic and 1 GB for standby

    Environment

    Version - Vmware: ESXi 4.1

    -Host: 360 g-7 DL, 2 x 1 GB quad port NIC, 1 dual CF 8 gb HBAS

    -Storage: EMC VNX 5300 host FC HBAS are directly connected to the San

    Background

    We currently have a 1 GB LAN (Cisco 3750 battery) \storage (san is LeftHand 4500) network that will not provide the e/s, we need for our SQL server due to a limitation of the NMP esxi a company proposes a new solution of storage for us.

    Overview of storage design:

    2, 1 GB of NIC quad by the host in support of our networks (VM\MGMT, vMotion, DMZ, iSCSI).  Add a dual port 8 gb FC HBAS on each host for storage.  I then path redundancy but not the redundancy of HBA cards.  Can I use the existing 2, 1 GB iscsi NIC as the standby for the FC HBA just to limp along until I vMotion, virtual machine to sql server on a server that has a FC HBA?  Obviously the performance of I/o would be take a hit but I rather he would perform badly only totally cut off IO.

    Maybe that's not possible even remotley, but I look forward to comments.  Thank you!

    While I've seen this work his * explicitly * not supported by EMC.

  • Gross storage iSCSI and VMDK questions

    I don't know if this is the best place for this question, so let me know if it is better to have another forum.

    I have ESX4 Setup on a server with a box of Equalogic serving 500g on iSCSI disks. For now, I have a 500 GB slice that I use only for the OS data and store all on OS VM.

    One of these virtual machines is a replacement for our mail server on Ubuntu 10.04 server that I want to run Zimbra. In our current setup, we have a physical 400 GB RAID 1 implemented as the/opt directory to store the install zimbra and the data store, this config partition makes I/O and backup issues a wink. I want to replicate this model, but I'm having problems.

    As I understand it, I have two options on the new VM server.  I can attach a raw disk via iSCSI via the menu vCenter as a connected virtual drive, or I can config the iSCSI connector in Ubuntu to access the drive directly.  I prefer the former because it makes things simple, but what I will meet an error when I try to connect the drive.

    Basically, it forces me to choose the location of the data store virtual and I have only two options, the 147 GB SAS on the physical ESX Server or the iSCSI drive 500 GB that I have attached to vCenter for the OS data. In both cases the error that I get States that there is not enough space on the data store for the extra 500 GB added to the virtual machine by attaching it.

    Yes, is there a way to add this iSCSI disk to the virtual machine without being part of the VMDK files? Or what I need to reach via iSCSI inside the Ubuntu VM? It would be nice to take advantage of snapshots and others, but I don't see how to do this job unless I have duplicate all storage making it OSdata drive big enough to accomidate the attachment of additional 500 GB to this virtual machine and even all my other virtual machines that have similar needs. This seems impractical because it would literally data duplicated without the benefit of the RAID or parallel I/O.

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

    We've covered this before, but you're absolutely sure that "OSDATA EQ iSCSI" is formatted with a block size of 4MB?

  • Upgrade and migration of 3.5.0upd0 to 4.0upd1 and shared storage iSCSI

    Hi people,

    I've got 2 ESX host: Alpha and beta. Two of them are connected to a cabin of iSCSI with some created shared storage drive (all VMFS3 v3.31). And both had ESX 3.5.0 update0

    I migrated all the VMS running in the Alpha host for shared storage and made host Beta to run (clones cold or simply reassign files). Then I bâtait Alpha from scratch and I installed vSphere 4.0 in it. I also created in its local storage space bit a new virtual machine with vCenter4 inside. It has worked well.

    Then I had to migrate Beta and its virtual machines, too. I first tried to manage the host with vCenter4, but it is not backward compatible.

    So I'll use the host update utility to upgrade beta I saw in a video tutorial, but my doubts are...

        • Option 1:

    Disable all virtual machines managed in host Beta.

    Configure the iSCSI client in Alpha, add storage shared cabin and try to manage the virtual machines already extinct. This reduces the time to downgrade.

    Upgrade Vmware Tools in the virtual machines (v4 to v7 type VM). Required reboots.

    Upgrade host Beta (with no SMV in there and unplug the cable of iSCSI) vSphere4.

    Connect and configure the iSCSI version beta customer.

    Manage the host with the new vCenter4 Beta.

    Configure the vMotion, DRS etc. in both hosts.

        • Option 2:

    Disable all virtual machines managed in host Beta.

    Upgrade host Beta (with no SMV in there and unplug the cable of iSCSI) vSphere4. Downgrade time increases.

    Connect and configure the iSCSI version beta customer.

    Upgrade Vmware Tools in the virtual machines (v4 to v7 type VM). Required reboots.

    Manage the host with the new vCenter4 Beta.

    Configure the vMotion, DRS etc. in both hosts.

    Which option is the best? Maybe is it possible to apply a third? What do you think?

    Thanks in advance.

    without loss of performance?

    Yes. VM with v4 works very well.

    The only problem is that you lose some new features, like the new drivers and FT.

    Note also that Standalone VMware Converter 4.x can also convert between v4 and v7 and vice versa.

    You set the location of the directories in your application when you create the application of FDM. However, you can change the location of this share. When connecting, to wither the Web or client Workbench select Add an Application in the application drop-down list. Log in as an administrator. Select the application you want to change the part of the demand for, and then click Modify. You then have a path of the application that you can change. Just be sure that your directories for both apps FDM migrated to newly specified directory locations

  • Tablet Lenovo Yoga 3. How to change default storage for ext SD map

    Hi team,

    I brought a new Tablet from Lenovo Yoga 3 (2 GB ram, 16 GB of internal storage)

    I couldn't find an option to set the default storage.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance

    Reach:

    Settings / storage

    At the top you should have 'writing on the disk by default'. Simply select SD card.

    By default, Apps will always be installed on internal memory. Those data can be moved, go on:

    Settings / applications

    Select 'manage applications '. Go to the SD card tab. Everything that can be moved will be listed here. You must select each App (one at a time). On the next screen, there is a box that says "move to SD card". Press on & wait.

    Other issues such as the media (music, videos) - depending on the application being used, you can record directly to SD card or use a file manager and manually move (cut / paste or ' move to ')
