• WLC use Management Interface & more get started Questions

  Hello

  I am yet to implement Wireless LAN in one seat of our customers. There are 40 x 1130AG LWAPP AP and WLC 4404 with ACS 4.x for authentication of Wireless Clients attempting to access the LAN.

  For the WLC to connect to the Dual Core Switch, I need to use only a Management Interface with port 1 being the main and mapping Distribution system the DS 2 Port as the backup for the Management Interface port. Is this correct? or can I have configure dynamic Interfaces as well. Is the interface of access management / management and configuration only? Management interface will communicate with ACS for AAA and AP who wish to associate with the WLC, is this true?

  Note: WLC, AP, Wireless customers & AP are in the same IP subnet.

  Some other question of WLAN is so it helps me during the implementation.

  Can • I use the 802. 1 x authentication applications saved in Windows XP for the Wireless Interface; instead of the Client Application from Cisco. For this purpose; I have to configure the WLC / Wireless Client use EAP algorithm; is that correct?

  • With the help of MRR, interference between of multiple (3-4 AP) AP in the same area is controlled by the WLC by changing the channels used by the AP, that isn't even on of the AP is it good?

  • How many users Client will connect by channels. 802.11 a / g will provide 11 channels, it is right?

  • I'm putting in the WLC to limit client connections by AP to 25, can this be achieved?

  Please, can someone help me calrifying the points above.

  Kind regards

  Unless this has changed recently, you can't. The ports must be then break into individual groups. You can the controller mode layer 3 as Cisco is the support Layer 2 stop. The Director of the PA is necessary in all cases in LWAPP layer 3 transport mode. Do a search on Cisco.com to the configuration guide for the version of the code you are running. This will give you a step by step installation instructions.

• EqualLogic group member network configuration error: "management interface should not be on the san subnet.

  Hello

  We currently have new EqualLogic 6100 device with this network configuration:

  Director of the IP - 192.168.0.2 (VLAN1).

  Member network config:
  eth0 - 192.168.0.3 (VLAN1)
  eth1 - 10.10.10.3 (VLAN2)
  eth2 - 10.10.10.4 (VLAN2)
  eth3 - 10.10.10.5 (VLAN2)
  ETH4 - empty

  I would attribute 192.168.0.4 to eth4, but received the error: "management interface should not be on the san subnet.

  I am sure that all interfaces eth has access to the VLAN1 and VLAN2, mean error indicates that eth4 should not access VLAN2 and only access the VLAN1 on the switch?

  Or eth0 should also have access to the VLAN2 only to reconfigure eth0 and eth4?

  Thank you

  > The group eating IP should be in iscsi VLANS?

  Yes!

  Note: If configure you an EQL it will ask an iSCSI port because nothing is more necessary to bring it up. The doest previous EQLs have a dedicated Mgmt Port and later, you can convert the last ethX as a MGMT port. This is the reason why configure you ISCSI at the beginning. (Think of a mixed group of newer and older models, and you get a picture)

  OK... once again it is the one and only member of the Group and there is making the production host connected to the right?

  The change of IP address, to a 3rd. subnet for temporary use.

  -Do not touch eth0-3 and the IP address of the group now

  -Configure the MGMT port and IP address management in the tempr group. Subnet. Use the Config-> Adv. Group-> network MGMT. You can change the MGMT Port of the Member, and the address IP of MGMT

  -For the registration of the configuration, you will lose access. You must place your admin PC in the templ. subnet so

  -Connect to the GroupMgr with temp again. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

  -Now you can change the IP address of group 10.10.10..x

  -Now you can change eth0 10.10.10.2

  -At the end, you can change the address IP of the Group MANAGEMENT, as well as the MGMT Port to 192.168.0.x

  -Change the IP address of your admin PC rear

  A failover, you should consider to hang a serial cable the active controller of the EQL. Use 9600,8,1, N with your favorite terminal program (putty.exe on windows). All the steps, you can perform from the command line.

  If this group and the only member not in production, but you can reset the config and restart from the beginning.

• How do the 4000th Equallogic Installer management ports

  Hello

  We released Equallogic 4000E with two controllers. I would like to connect the management ports on our "management VLANs" society.

  But I don't know if I need two different IP addresses for the two management ports?

  Or I just organize just one IP address for one of the ports management and EQL will take care of the rest? I understand that a single controller is active at a time.

  Appreciate any clarification on this if you have storage EQL.

  Thank you

  But what I don't understand is the number of IP addresses do I organize for the "management interface."

  1 single IP on your network.

  The standby controller will have all the IP when it become active (and the other become Eve).

• vShield Manager interface network & group of port / vlan

  Hello:

  I'm new to vShield and looking to use it in our environment.  I read the documentation and seeks to install the first part, the Device Manager vShield.  By reading the docs, it specifies the management interface for the vShield Manager is in its own group of port.  Why is this?  Is it okay to put this interface in a group of existing port?  Is it possible in a port with another management SMV Group (vCenter, etc.)?  Also, is it better practice to have this in a standard vs dvswitch, or isn't it important?  I was looking through posts and the other docs and so far I don't see a clear reason why it must be in its own group of port.

  So far, the only element that we will consider is vShield Endpoint, for now.  We have no plans to watch App or Edge, etc.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  The Manager can be put on any standard or distributed port group. Do not create any new groups-port. The only thing that is necessary to access vCenter/SSO and DNS, NTP server (mirror).

  There is no need to create a new. IMHO, this could be a failure in the doc.

  Kind regards

• Error adding array manager - VSphere 4, 4 SRM and Dell Equallogic

  I have built a new VSphere 4 of 2003 server and that you have installed SRM on it with one of Dell Equallogic SAN.  I'm point table configuration manager.  After I enter the information, then click on connect, I get the following error:

  Error occurred: XML Document is Empty

  I tried to run the installer with the repair option again and removed and added the SRA with no luck.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Just treat it today.  The plugin storage Dell is written in Java, so your Java executable needs to be in the path.  RDP on your SRM server and open a commandprompt.  If you can not simply run "Java.exe", you will have this problem.

  I just do a fresh install of the latest Sun JRE and then it worked fine.

• Anyone who has experienced problems with HOL-PRT-1308 - Dell EqualLogic - manage and protect vSphere

  I tried this laboratory several times but it is always empty, there is no VMs on it while in the statement, it is said that there is a center of data, host and VMs already created. Whenever I go it is always not created data center. Also in the statement, it asks you to click Home and I guess to see an icon with the name "Dell Virtual Storage Manager" I don't have that one as well. The laboratory all function with this icon and if you don't have it you can't not do laboratory. I tried to average different places different network just prove who has nothing to do with my network firewall or GPO, not this speed because nor does the House or work. Any help if someone had the same problem.

  Hello

  I apologize for the difficulties you experience in this laboratory. You are right that this behavior would not be bound to your location network, GPO, or latency because it is all contained in the lab environment.

  I connected to the laboratory, launched the web client and logged on as CORP\Administrator. You connect by checking the "Use Windows session authentication" box on the login screen, or you manually type the credentials?

  

  The manual says to use the box, that's how I connected. You want to make sure it says "[email protected]" in the upper right, once you have connected. Once connected, when I click on the home button, I see the following with the Dell Virtual Storage Managerscreen. It seems that you do not see this icon.

  

  Similarly, I don't see a crowded inventory:

  

  It is possible that you had a bad lab deployment, but if you have seen this behavior several times, this probably isn't the problem. If you can try to use the checkbox to connect and possibly further clarification, I can try to troubleshoot further.

• Set up multiple paths to EqualLogic PS4000 iSCSI

  I have two Dell PowerEdge M610 in a PowerEdge M1000e that my team was given as units of seeds (thanks Dell) and we ended up buying storage, they sent with it, an EqualLogic PS4000.  The representative of Dell came and helped to get the basic running configuration and how iSCSI worked and showed us a doc (the same doc Configuring_VMware_vSphere_Software_iSCSI_with_Dell_EqualLogic_PS_Series_Storage.pdf noted many threads here) on how get v4.1 ESX (i) running with this storage.  We all stood up and running most of the time before he left, but after going on documentation, again, I have seen that we should be able to establish connections mutable and "Round Robin" to improve performance.  As I see so far in the two vSphere Client and in the management of the EqualLogic console console, I get only one per server (as seen on the attached screenshots).  I've been beating my head on this for the last few days trying to get the connections going.  In fact, I've seen it work once but for other reasons, I had to redo the raid on the host computer and reload and have not been able to get it working again... :'-(

  So, here's how the hardware is configured.  From the module of control PS4000 0, I have eth0 goes 1 Dell PowerConnect M6220 in the slot C2 chassis, eth1 goes to another port M6220 in C2.  If the storage is connected directly to the chassis.  And the same configuration on the modal control 1.  These ports connect to the vmnic4 & 5.

  0 1 vmnic5 iSCSI1

  The connection to the storage is lost... for a while.  About 5 min later I see the connection on the EqualLogic, but on the other port (eth0 to eth1).  So I don't know the connection MAY work, but just does not do both at the same time.

  So what I am doing wrong?  I tried to read on other threads, but haven't read the answer to this question.  Thanks for your help.

  There is a step in this configuration guide where you link all of your VMkernel ports to the iSCSI initiator.  You will remember to do this step?

  What looks like the output of the following control air: esxcli swiscsi nic list vmhba39 d

  You should see the vmk1 and vmk2 in there.

• Dell Equallogic PS5000X NIC reference

  Hello

  does anyone have experience of SAN Dell Equallogic PS5000X?  I'll put in place at the moment and it seems there are 2 controllers for all of the 3 NIC (6 in total).  I find I cannot use 3 cards and 1 controller in Active mode and can not find a way to get the two controllers to work in unison and the two assets.

  I wanted to use 4 network cards for iSCSI traffic on a VLAN giving a rate 4 GB of storage but you can use 2 network cards, giving a throughput of 2 GB and 1 for management.

  Is this the only method available for this type of SAN?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Andy

  Hey,.

  The PS is an active / standby. A controller is active. The other will be the shot if the first of all a problem. You have only a configuration to do.

  You configure 3 interfaces in the GUI. eth0, 1, 2.

  The second controller will use this interface when you need.

  You can dedicate a management port, but Dell recommends that you connect all of your ports to the ISCSI network.

  Hope this helps

• Reference Dell EqualLogic 6010 initial configuration

  Hello. I have a dust collection Dell EqualLogic 6010 in my test harness. He was sent by another office, for reasons unknown. I would use this feature to unload a few backup copies of vm in the development of our san to this device of 16 smaller disk.  I only have one switch that comes with it, but for its intended use, this should be good. I only will link a physical server to it where my backup software. (I wish I could just direct connect, but I read that it is not possible, or at least not recommended) The problem is... I don't know where to start.

  I tried to put in place of guides, manuals and Setup guides, but the single pdf I find is more on limits, best practices, what he can do, etc., rather than from step 1. (like, indications which include the implementation of rails and all that usually skip us... lol) Can anyone help with a quick course guide or accident? Maybe point me in the direction of certain documents?

  For example... series in I do? If so, what are the default creds? There may be a default ip address that I can connect my laptop in to start the initial game up? Or y at - it a config that I can run on the same subnet as EMC VNX implemented who will find unconfigured devices? I really can't find any of this set up information of this device. I hope someone can help.

  Thank you very much. :)

  Hello

  You have a username on the EQL support site?   The documentation is a quick installation guide.

  1.), you can use the serial port.  9600,8, n, 1 NO flowcontrol.   (Series cisco cables do not work)   Grpadmin default login, password grpadmin. (assuming that it has not already been implemented)

  2.) If you have an EQL support account, you can also download the HIT for Windows or Linux.   Who has the Remote Installation Wizard software.  Who will scan the local subnet for the not configured matrices.  Then allow you to configure it through the user interface.

  Re: switches.  You need a 10GbE switch.  The 6010 will not negotiate until 1GbE.

• DELL UPS Network Management Card firmware update is not possible in the management of inverter DELL Multi console

  I have a problem with the update of some old software on a DELL UPS Network Management card in DELL Multi UPS Management Console.

  We have a few more recent and some models with very old Firmware. The older firmware is: 01.02.0013
  I imported the update of the firmware: 01.16.0001
  If I select this version behind the inverter with firmware 01.02.0013 it is a red exclamation point.

  

  Also, I can't get to the this inverter https address.

  So I do not know how update the firmware of the network management card, please anyone who has a solution...

  .

  I got it finally working.

  I couldn't connect to the interface webGui of UPS in https on IE 6,7,8,9 and calibrated to an ssl error Firefox.
  I could not update the firmware using DELL UPS management software can. fatal error.

  I then installed Chrome, when connecting to the web GUI I ignored the warning of certificate error and waited...

  YES. The web Gui appeared, asking for the password and the Web GUI that I could install the firmware 01.14.0003

• 3 Dell Equallogic PS6010

  Hello

  I have 3 Dell Equallogic PS6010 Raid 6 accelerated what is the optimal configuration for performance and reliability. Should I put all members in the same pool with some volumes? using this configuration what happens if one of the members die in the pool volumes will still be online? Or do I have to create a separate pool for each Member and syncrep everywhere?

  Thank you!

  Hello Quackattack,

  If you have several members in the same pool, then default data for each volume to be spread out in the members.  Up to three by default, unless the volume is too large to fit on only three members.

  So in the case of Member failure, all volumes in common with this member will go offline until the table is restored to service.  Members in the same pool work together so that will give you the best performance, but at a greater risk.  The berries are extremely redundant to prevent this.  Also, members in a pool even with permutation of the blocks to keep the I/O latency to the balance between the members.  If a member with a lot of IO will send blocks occupied another Member and take blocks of slow motion of this member.  Keeping the latency in space and tick as well balanced.   It's advanced performance load balancing.

  But if this is a priority, then put them in separate categories would be better.  You would have to manually manage IO loads to prevent a pool being saturated, while others might be slowed by comparison.

  You can also do a combo.  Put two members in a pool, then someone else in another to the syncrep on your volumes. Giving you a balance between too.

  Much depends on the load that you expect to apply to the group.  In addition, if you can levarge improvements EQL MPIO, like MEM for ESXi, HIT / THE for Linux or HIT / ME to Windows.

  If you use ESXi, VMware requires also to company or company + to run MPIO extensions like MEM.  If you cannot use MEM, then this PDF has info on how to improve fuction MPIO using VMware standard Round Robin.  As well as other tips as well.

  If you haven't already done so, install SANHQ v3.x to better monitor your group (s).

• Web management interface of LAN N3000

  sHello,

  We have replaced our old 62xx powerconnect with a new stack of switches N3000.  With the earlier material, there is no remote management interface. Thus, we were able to manage the passage of our LAN subnet.

  If I put interface OOB in our LAN subnet so I can't send IP to the VLAN. ... .

  How to be able to administer our N3000 switch via web gui of our LAN subnet.

  I tried to address ip configuration for vlan1 in the hope that I would be able to gui for managing web... .but not...

  Console >Activate

  Console #Configure

  Console (config) #interface vlan 1

  Console #ip 192.168.0.250 address 255.255.255.0

   

  Can you please help?
  

  Thank you for reading my post.

  Gmiga.

  recently had this problem,

  you don't need the OOB port so just set his IP and the gateway to something, that you'll ever need (or just leave no configured completely make sure you it is disconnected/disabled)

  what you were doing with the VLAN is correct, simply set the gateway:

  Console > activate

  Console #configurer

  Console (config) #interface vlan 1

  Console (Config-if) #ip address 192.168.0.250 255.255.255.0

  output console #.

  Console (config) #ip - default gateway 192.168.0.1

  by setting the default gateway, you should now be able to administer your switch to other subnets

  You may have already worked to this point, but it is good to leave it here for others.

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade 5.1 in a Dell EqualLogic environment?

  Hi all, I am planning to upgrade our guests ESXi4.1 U1 to ESXi 5.1 Dell R610.  We use a PS6100E EqualLogic via iSCSI.  I installed 5.1 vCenter and prepared Update Manager with the image of Dell Custom ESXi 5.1, thinking that it would contain all the necessary drivers/modules.  However, after analysis of my ESXi hosts, I get the following caveat (see attachment).  Anyone has done an upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1 in a Dell EqualLogic environment?  I'm not warm and fuzzy about the procedure taking into account the warning.  Thank you!

  

  Hello

  There is no requirement for reconfiguration of re - install MEM after the upgrade.  It lies on the existing configuration as before.

  My personal preference is to uninstall 3rd party before the upgrade applications to make the cleaner process.  I don't know problem to upgrade to 1.1.2 and then the ESX upgrade, I have not tried it personally.
