Connections iSCSI how much should I see?

Hi all

Also posted here - iscsi connections how do I see?-Spiceworks and here - communities.vmware.com/.../520622

Running ESXi 5.5 and a PS4100X Equallogic, hoping someone point me in the right direction on something I noticed.

Recently installed a MD3220i (https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1114594-iscsi-port-binding-daft-question)

After start installation and connection iSCSI can be quite long (as expected by using binding with several subnets iSCSI ports) but my question is not related to this.

I came today to see what I can do to improve the time of starting, perhaps using static rather than dynamic discovery, and I noticed something weird.

The Equallogic we have 2 NIC, 10.11.14.1 and 10.11.14.2. When using dynamic discovery I enter the IP address of the Group (10.11.14.253) and I get 8 connections, one for each IP address on the ESXi hosts to each IP addresses on the equallogic, see screenshot iscsi1.png

Any fine.

If I then switch to static and put 2 entries in by the data store (one for each NETWORK card on the equallogic) (see the screenshot iscsi2.png) then what I see in the equallogic is 16 connections to the host. Each data store is connected twice for each NETWORK card on the host, everyone via network cards on the equallogic, see screenshot iscsi3.png.

I don't know if it's better or worse! I have several paths, so it should be better? Or I have many paths, and the system will get confused?

Thank you

Hello

The best option to avoid the delay is for something like the broadcom iSCSI adapter unloading.  ISCSI S/W adapter would be bound to network adapters for volumes MD, (or bind something here and use several subnets rather) the unloading adapter would then manage the EQL triaffic.   This prevents the long startup delay since all related network cards trying to reach the defined all discovery addresses.

I have never tried to use only addresses static w/ESXi, so I can't really talk about why you get the additional connections.  Unless it still makes a discovery, or the old static entries were still there after you have changed static.

Kind regards

  • migration of the distributed switch standard, how much should be created?

    I'm migrating my VMs from standard to distributed switches.  Are there practices for distributed switches how you create?  Vmotion traffic must be on a separate dvswitch?  My plan was to a dvswitch for vMotion and the other for my VMs and mgmt of ESXi servers.  OR would they all simply in the same switch?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do not forget that each vDS need your own uplinks (physical network interfaces)... If you have enough rising, you can create several vDS, but with a small number of uplink, a better approach is to create just a single vDS and a group of ports for each type of traffic (vMotion, mgmt, VM)... and you can specify the uplink for each port group to use by using the configuration of aggregation and failover.

    Planning your Partitions

    The Question

    Partitions, how much should I have on my hard drive, what do I use
    each of them for, and what size should each one be?

    It s a common question, but unfortunately this doesn t have a
    only simple, just answer to all the world. A lot of people will respond with
    the way they do, but their response isn't necessarily best for the
    person seeking (in many cases it isn't right even for the person)
    response).

    Terminology

    First, let's rethinking the terminology. Some people ask "should I".
    partition my drive? That s the wrong question, because the
    the terminology is a little strange. Some people think that the word
    "partition" means divide the drive into two or more partitions.
    That s not correct: to partition a drive is to create one or several
    partitions on it. You must have at least one partition to use
    He who think they have an unpartitioned disk actually
    have a player with only one partition on it and it s normally
    Called C:. The choice you have is to have more than one
    partition, not that it's the partition at all.

    A bit of history

    Back before Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (also known as Windows
    95 (b) was published in 1996, all MS-DOS and Windows hard drives have been set
    using the file system FAT16 (except for very tiny to aid
    FAT12). That 16-bit only because were used for addressing, FAT16 has a
    maximum 2 GB partition size.

    More than 2 GB of hard disks were rare at the time, but if you had
    one, you must have multiple partitions to use all the available
    space. But even if your drive was not larger than 2GB, FAT16 created
    Another serious problem for many people - the size of the cluster has been
    more great if you had a larger partition. Cluster sizes increased from 512
    bytes for a partition to no greater than32Mb all the way up to 32 KB for a
    partition of 1 GB or more.

    More the cluster size, the space more is wasted on a hard drive.
    That s as space for all the files is allocated in whole clusters
    only. If you have 32 KB clusters, a 1 byte file takes 32 KB, a file, a
    greater than 32 k byte takes 64 k and so on. On average, each file
    about half of his last group waste.

    If large partitions create a lot of waste (called "soft"). With a 2 GB
    FAT16 drive in a single cluster, if you have 10,000 files, each
    lose half a cluster of 32 KB, you lose about 160 MB for relationships. This s
    back in an important part of a player that probably cost more than $400
    1996 - around $ 32.

    So what did the people? They divided their 2 GB drive in two,
    three or more logical drives. Each of these logical drives has been
    smaller the real physical disk, had smaller clusters, and
    so less waste. If, for example, she was able to keep all the partitions
    less than 512 MB, cluster size was only 8 KB, and the loss was reduced to a
    a quarter of what it would be otherwise.

    People partitioned for other reasons also, but back in the days of
    FAT16, it was the main reason to do so.

    The present

    Three things have changed radically since 1996:

    1. the FAT32 and NTFS file systems came along, allowing a larger
    partitions with smaller clusters and so much less waste. In
    with NTFS, cluster sizes are 4 K, regardless of the size of the partition.

    2 hard drives have become much larger, often more than 1 TB (1000 GB) in
    size.

    3 hard drives have become much cheaper. For example, a 500 GB drive
    can be bought today for about $50. That s 250 times the size of this
    Player 2Gb typical 1996, about one-eighth of the price.

    What these things mean together which is the reason to be old to have
    multiple partitions to avoid the considerable wastage of disk space left.
    The amount of waste is much less than it used to be and the cost of
    that waste is much less. For all practical purposes, almost nobody does
    should no longer be concerned about slack, and it should no longer be
    has examined when planning your partition structure.

    What Partitions are used for today

    There are a variety of different ways people put in place several
    scores of these days. Some of these uses are reasonable, some are
    debatable, some are downright bad. I'll discuss a number of Commons
    partition types in the following:

    1. a partition for Windows only

    Most of the people who create such a partition are because they believe
    If they never have to reinstall Windows properly, at least they
    He won t lose their data and he won t have to reinstall their applications.
    because both are safe on other partitions.

    The first of these thoughts is a false comfort and the second
    is downright bad. See the analysis of the types of partition 2 and 4
    below to find out why.

    Also note that over the years, a lot of people who find their windows
    partition that has begun to be the right size proves to be too
    small. For example, if you have such a partition for Windows and later
    upgrade to a newer version of Windows, you may find that your Windows
    partition is too small.

    2. a partition for installed programs

    This normally goes hand in hand with the partition type 1, a partition for
    just Windows. The thought that if you reinstall Windows, your
    installed application programs are safe if they are in another
    partitions is simply not true. That s because all programs installed
    (with the exception of an occasional trivial) have pointers to the inside
    Windows, in the registry and elsewhere, as well as associated files
    buried in the Windows folder. So if Windows, pointers and
    the files go with it. Given that the programs need to be reinstalled if Windows
    the fact, this reasoning to a separate partition for programs not
    work. In fact, there is almost never a good reason to separate
    Windows of the software application into separate partitions.

    3. a partition for the pagefile.

    Some people think mistakenly that the pagefile on another
    score will improve performance. It is also false; It doesn t
    help and often I hurt, performance, because it increases the movement of the head
    to get back to the page to another file frequently used
    data on the disk. For best performance, the paging file should normally
    be on the most widely used score of less used physical player. For
    almost everyone with a single physical disk than the same drive s
    Windows is on C:.

    4. a partition for backup for other partitions.

    Some people make a separate partition to store backups of their other
    or partitions. People who rely on a "backup" are a joke
    themselves. It is only very slightly better than no backup at all.
    because it leaves you likely to be simultaneously the original losses
    and backup for many of the most common dangers: the head crashes and other
    types of drive, serious glitches to power failure, near lightning
    strikes, virus attack, even stolen computer.  In my opinion,.
    secure backup must be on a media removable and not stored in the
    computer.

    5. a partition for data files

    Above, when I discussed separate Windows on a clean partition,
    I pointed out that separate data from Windows is a false comfort if
    He of done with the idea that data will be safe if Windows ever
    must be reinstalled. I call it a false comfort that's because
    I'm afraid many people will rely on this separation, think that their
    data are safe there and so do not take measures to
    Back it up. In truth the data is not safe there. Having to reinstall
    Windows is just one of the dangers to someone a s hard disk and not
    probably even one. This kind of "backup" falls into the same
    category, as a backup to other partitions partition; It lets you
    sensitive to the simultaneous loss of the original and the backup on many of
    the most common dangers that affect the entire physical disk, not
    just the particular partition. Security comes from a solid backup
    diet, not how partition you.

    However, for some people, it may be a good idea to separate Windows and
    programs on the one hand of the data on the other, putting each of the
    two types into separate partitions. I think that most people
    partitioning scheme must be based on their backup system and backup
    plans are generally of two types: whole hard disk imaging
    or data only backup. If you back up data, backup is
    usually facilitated by the presence of a separate with data only partition;
    to save just the score easily, without having to
    collect pieces from here and elsewhere. However, for
    those who backup by creating an image of the entire disk, there is
    usually little, if any, benefit the separation of data in a partition of
    its own.

    Furthermore, in all honesty, I must point out that there are many
    very respected people who recommend a separate partition for Windows,
    Whatever your backup plan.  Their arguments haven t convinced
    me, but there are clearly two views different here.

    6. a partition to image files

    Some people like to deal with the images and videos as something separate
    other data files and create a separate partition for them. To my
    the spirit, an image is simply another type of data and there is no
    the advantage in doing so.

    7. a partition for music files.

    The comments above related to the image files also apply to music
    files. They are just another type of data and must be dealt with the
    just like the other data.

    8. a partition for a second operating system to dual-boot to.

    For those who manage several operating systems (Windows Vista, Windows
    XP, Windows 98, Linux, etc.), a separate partition for each operating
    system is essential. The problems here are beyond the scope of this
    discussion, but simply to note that I have no objection to s
    all these partitions

    Performance

    Some people have several partitions because they believe that it
    somehow improves performance. That s not correct. The effect is
    probably low on modern computers with modern hard disks, but if
    whatever it is, the opposite is true: more music mean poorer
    performance. That's because normally no partition is full and it
    so are gaps between them. It takes time for the drive s
    read/write heads to cross these gaps. Close all files
    are, faster access to them will be.

    Organization

    I think a lot of people overpartition because they use scores as a
    organizational structure. They have a keen sense of order and you want to
    to separate the apples from the oranges on their readers.

    Yes, separating the different types of files on partitions is a
    technical organization, but then is to separate different types of
    files in folders. The difference is that the walls are static and
    fixed in size, while the files are dynamic, changing size automatically
    as needed to meet your changing needs. This usually done records
    a much better way to organize, in my opinion.

    Certainly, partitions can be resized when necessary, but except with the latter
    versions of Windows, which requires a third-party software (the and the
    possibility to do so in Windows is primitive compared to the third-party
    solutions). These third party software normally costs money and not
    any point and how stable it is, affects the entire disk.
    with the risk of losing everything. Plan your partitions in
    first place and repartitioning, none will be necessary.  The need
    to repartition usually occurs as a result of overpartitioning in
    the first place.

    What often happens when people organize with partitions instead
    records are that they make a miscalculation of how much room they need on each
    This partition, and then when they run out of space on the partition
    When a file is logically, while having plenty of space
    on the other hand, they simply saving the file in the score of "poor".
    Paradoxically, therefore, results in this kind of score structure
    less organization rather than more.

    So how should I partition my drive

    If you read what came before, my findings will not come as a
    surprise:

    1. If your backup set is the image of the entire disk, have just one
    single (usually c partition :));

    2. If you backups just data, have two partitions one for Windows and
    application programs installed (usually c :)), the other for data
    (normally D :).)

    With the exception of multiple operating systems, it is rarely
    any advantage to have more than two partitions.

  • Best practices ISCSI VMK? How much per physical nic?

    Hi guys,.

    I have a practical question best.

    I have an ISCSI unit with two controllers. Each controller has two ports. The configuration is the following:

    A: controller

    P1: 192.168.7.1/24

    P2: 192.168.8.1/24

    Controller b:

    P1: 192.168.7.2/24

    P2: 192.168.8.2/24

    Each controller is connected to two switches. P1-> P2-> SW2, SW1.

    Each server has two network adapters, dedicated to ISCSI traffic. The question is: VMKs how do I run a physical NIC? One? Or two?

    I've set up so be it, but I'm not sure how it should be done. Currently, all guests have a VMK by NIC my argument is despite VMKs how I, the flow is still limited to 1 GB/s per port of the server (unity of ISCSI is 10 Gbps per port).

    Option 1:

    Server A:

    • MI 3
      • VMK1: 192.168.7.20/24
      • VMK2: 192.168.8.20/24
    • NIC4:
      • VMK3: 192.168.7.21/24
      • VMK4: 192.168.8.21/24

    Option 2:

    Server A:

    • NIC3:
      • VMK1: 192.168.7.20/24
    • NIC4:
      • VMK2: 192.168.8.20/24

    Is it not wise to have a physical NETWORK card with two VMKs? I'm not sure if two VMKs physical NIC is "good" because it could lead to performance?

    TIA!

    A VMK by NIC is the supported configuration. If you do differently, you may not be able to properly configure the iSCSI.
