DELL EMC CX600 FC SAN with ESX4.1 or ESX4 reference

Hello, I try to integrate with a Dell EMC CX - 600 existing ESX4. My ESX (QLOGIC QLE2460s) HBAs are connected to 16 ports (only 8-port active), FC of McData Sphereon 4400 switches. My first problem is that I can't access the first McData switch. I'm looking for my customer documentation in the hope to reset this option to the factory settings and rebuild the configs. It's neither here nor there. My main concern is that when I rescan my HBA in ESX, I see no LUNS. Also, I can not add the ESX Server to host my list in the mgmt of navisphere WITHOUT GUI. I read that even if the SAN is end of life, there is running ESX 4 with it, users. I also read that I wouldn't need to install the navisphere agent in the ESX service console. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have not all areas set up for the new ESX hosts. What is a bond? Forgive my ignorance, I'm not very experienced working with fiber channel. Any idea is appreciated. What could I do it wrong? I checked that the McData switch does not block ports ESX (a switch that I have access to). Thank you.

Unless you have zones configured on the switch, you will not get very far and will see the behavior you described.  You need enter this McData switch to configure the zones.

  • Dell XPS 15 (L502x) problems with mSATA, it is even compatible?

    Hey all,.

    After you run out of warranty and immediately having HDD, I decided to install an mSATA SSD for faster boot times (with the possibility to keep a large spinning for storage disk). I bought a Liteon M3M 128 GB module and installed in the mini-pci-e slot in the compartment under the laptop.

    After that installation there no change, nothing picked up in the bios, nothing through a live Linux OS, nothing in the installer of windows and nothing in Windows itself (when I gave up and replaced the drive rotating and re-installed).

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (A12) but this does not make any difference, I just googled and there is mention of a disabling Intel RST, but this option is not available for me in BIOS

    Is there something that I have done is wrong, it is likely that the device is defective, do I need some kind of pilots of special controller for installation of windows 7 or is this model of Dell just simply not compatible with mSTATA?

    See you soon,.

    -Dan

    Hi Dan,.

    XPS L502X supports the devices in the solid state (SSD) of 256 and 512 GB of capacity. However, I'm sorry to inform him that it does not support the mSATA disks. You can replace the hard drive with an SSD in order to improve the performance of the system.

    Please let me know if you need further information.

  • Boot from SAN with 4 HBAs

    Hello

    What are the guildlines for boot from SAN with 4 fibre HBA.
    Our HP Blades originally had 2 available Qlogic host bus adapters.  I have always chosen a boot on both device and the servers never had a problem starting.  Recently we add a second back-end connectivity map and associates of mezzanine on the HP to allow everything.  On the SAN and blade we show 4 HBAs.  Now when booting of servers, we have stuck in the bootloader GRUB.  This has happened on a server that has already been built and when we reinstalled.  What are the guidelines for booting from the San with multiple HBAs.  We use ESX 4.1.

    Hello

    The general rule is that boot from SAN works on HBA cards in the lowest PCI slot.

    I don't know what rules HP uses to translate slots PCI mezzanine cards.

  • SRM with different DELL/EMC CLARiiON systems

    I have a client who currently owns a Dell Clariion CX300. They seek to replace it with a CX4-120 and would send the CX300 to an offsite location for use as a solution using MRS. DR.

    According to my research, I believe that this solution is possible using EMC RecoverPoint/SE to mirror, both on an IP network, but what is not clear is if I need is more SnapView and MirrorView (I don't think I do)

    HA - that someone does something similar to this before and care to share their experiences?

    Hi Sean

    I am writing as an employee of EMC society UK VMware affinity team. Please see my responses below online

    "I have a customer who currently has a Dell Clariion CX300. They seek to replace it with a CX4-120 and I would send the CX300 to an offsite location for use as a solution using MRS DR. »

    > > > > fabric database splitting and splitting based CLARiiON are fully integrated with ESX, including support for Site Recovery Manager (in accordance with the comparability of VMware SRM Matrix) as the CX300 supports not the CLARiiON splitter - this gives you the choice of fabric-based splitting of the side DR using something like the Brocade 7600 or the switch Cisco SSM blade or 9222i Fabric my concern with what is the cost of implementation of a fabric RecoverPoint intelligent solution based on the side DR may exceed what the client will budget for his site of DR

  • Creation of VM in local ESXi datastore for the backup of the data SAN with VMXNet 3 VM store

    Hi all

    I would like to know how you have configured your server to backup as a virtual machine?

    My idea is to use the local data VMFS3 store on my 3 x ESXi servers,

    by installing the application of part 3 (such as Veeam Backup 5 or Backup Exec 2010) in Windows Server 2008 R2 VM

    equipped with size of very big hard drive (OS 8 GB + 1 TB VMDK data partition) on each of the local data store to save the computer virtual within the SAN.

    What I have:

    VMware vSphere essential 4 - ESXi 4.0 (not hot add)

    Dell Power Edge 2950 with 2.5 to multiple VMFS3 extended on top - RAID 5 (6 x 500 GB SATAII 7200 RPM)

    Reference Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN on Gigabit Ethernet

    The configuration of the Windows Server 2008 R2 VM:

    2 x CPU @ 2.33 GHz

    4 GB OF RAM

    VMXNet3 NIC-> for better connectivity to the backup between the local data store ESXi and iSCSI-SAN data store.

    Here's the reason why I'm doing this is that:

    1. I don't have the additional NETWORK card to connect my physical server in iSCSI SAN THAT switch, so I can't use - SAN backup mode.

    2. I only use the available lowest VMware license that can't stand the Hot-add the device function.

    Would it be an optimal configuration?

    Any kind of help and suggestion to implement backup VM VM would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    AWT

    From what I see of you think to do, you will get no advantage of using the VMXNET3 NIC, compared using an e1000 NIC... All your traffic will be on the connections of 1 GB, because you're leaving SAN local disk... If you had the VM on the SAN, or the same storage, the VMXNET3 NIC were going at speeds of internal circulation (could get you better than 1 GB, but I advise to test before committing)...

    In addition, you will not be able to use a volume of OS 8 GB in Server 2008 R2... Bare minium is 32 GB (use plus 40 GB, which is that vSphere will use when you tell him to 2008 R2 for the operating system of the virtual machine)...
