• iSCSI and Fibre Channel on the Dell PowerVault MD3000 SAN shaerd with 2 physical servers

  Hi all

  I'm doing new virtualization technologies work in my office for assistance:

  2 x Dell PowerEDGE 2950 III each installed with iSCSI next accessing the SAN controller

  1 x Dell PowerVault MD3000 (10 x 300 GB 15 k rpm SAS)

  The

  VMWare ESXi is installed in an internal USB to load 4 x virtual machines which is

  under SOLARIS (using project, houses, SAMBA file server and)

  Source code repository and compile the source code of the project Build

  Server too.)

  5 x Windows Server 2003 which perform as Apache Tomcat application server.

  And

  I wonder if it has performance benefits in the application of the

  Shared SAN for these two physical server via iSCSI in contrast with

  Fiber Channel.

  I am aware that CF is faster and more expensive, but in this case, I won t run a VM with DB server on it.

  must

  I enter the path to have iSCSI or stick with the given FC

  the SAN runs on 15 k rpm SAS used by 2 ESXi server.

  Please let us know of a reflection regarding this configuration.

  Thank you

  Usually, you take NIC 1 gb connections available on your host and configure them as such.

  2 network cards go to the San, most of the time that it is actually two networks with different subnets.

  1 network card next LAN

  1 network card for the management

  We only use three network cards currently on our guests, 2 for San and the other for management and lan. We use two switches dedicated to dedicated networks dual iSCSI san. This allows to easily add additional hosts in the future.

  You get to decide a bit, but the double san network is pretty much a given. You can do all this of course with the VLANs as well. We use the switches unmanaged yet in our Organization.

  PS: Passing path recommended is to have completely isolated storage of the LAN network / network of the user.

• Dell PowerVault MD3600i validation error - unable to update firmware - Data:

  Hello

  I have the following problem when trying to upgrade the firmware version of 07.84.44.60 to 07.84.47.60 on my Dell PowerVault MD3600i.

  Assistant firmware upgrade RAID controller module reports the following error

  • Data validation error: the storage Bay cannot be updated one or more host entries in the Module of the RAID 0 controller did not match those of the RAID 1 Controller Module. To resolve this issue, contact a technical support representative.

  Can not find any similar problem on the net, if anyone here can help me please

  There are a few things you can try. If you have configured multiple paths you can remove one of the controllers, wait 5 minutes and then put it back and try to do the update. Or you can try to clear the log of events and then update the Firmware.

  Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions or concerns.

• DELL PowerVault TL2000 by Ethernet?

  Hi all!

  Need advice how connet DELL PowerVault TL2000 for PowerEdge M1000e via Ethernet?

  Is this possible?

  If not what kind of s-module, we need?

  Hello maojan,

  With the TL2000 using ethernet, you need the iSCSI bridge for the TL2000.  Once you have the bridge installed in the TL2000 and configured, you can use iSCSI to connect your M1000 in the TL2000 via iSCSI. The only other way to connect to the TL2000 is via SAS or FC if you have FC disks.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• How could I connect a DELL PowerVault MD3200 as extension of nested a DELL PowerVault MD3200.

  I wonder if it is possible to connect a DELL PowerVault MD3200 as extension of nested a DELL PowerVault MD3200. If it is possible how I could do (wiring only?)?

  Unfortunately this is not a configuration supported because you cannot connect to a controller module raid with another raid controller module... You must use a MD1200 behind the MD3200.

• Is it possible to connect two DELL PowerVault MD3200 single PowerEdge R610 Rack Server

  We have the SQL cluster with two nodes (the two PowerEdge R610 Rack Server) connected to the DELL PowerVault MD3200. As we are short on space, the idea came to add additional DELL PowerVault MD3200 to the cluster. Is this possible?

  Hello, IPM.

  Yes, you can add an another MD3200 to your R610 server & get both to work.  As you run lack of space, you can also simply add a MD1200 if just needing space as the MD1200 is cheaper than a MD3200.  The MD1200 will connect via your MD3200 sas & can provide you with the additional disk space if that's what you're looking for.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Incompatibility of Configuration Dell PowerVault 220 s

  Recently, I experienced a power failure on a Dell PowerVault 775N server, which connected a PowerVault 220 s storage device. Once the power has been restored and restarted the server, I get a beep and an indication on the server there is a «Configuration of drives and the NVRAM shift (normal shift)»

  We suspect that the controller card may be bad.  Anyone could help the who may have a similar problem before the experiment and give directions with the resolution of this problem?

  What's still recoverable data?

  Thank you.

  Difference between in the PERC configuration and the configuration on the hard drives, a message is displayed at startup upward:

  "Configuration of the incompatibility of drives and the NVRAM. Run view/add configuration from the Configuration utility option. Press a button to run the Configuration utility. »

  The configuration of RAID arrays is stored in two places: the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) of the RAID controller and the hard disk. Following a power failure or configuration change, the configuration in NVRAM now differs from that on the hard drive. Perform the following steps to resolve the issue.

  Note: If at any time you are prompted to initialize the table, do not. Initialization destroys all data on the logical drive. During the initialization process, all data bits are changed to zero.

  1. Press any key to enter the Configuration utility.

  2. in the management Menu, select Configure.

  3. Select view/add Configuration.

  4. two options are present: view disk Configuration and NVRAM Configuration of display. Because the original configuration is stored on the hard disk, select the Disk Configuration view.

  5. check that the correct configuration for the RAID array is now displayed.

  6. press the ESC key. When you are prompted to save the configuration, select Yes.

  7. the configuration is stored in NVRAM on the RAID controller and matches the configuration on the hard disk. When you are prompted, press a key to continue.

  8. press ESC until you are asked to leave. Click Yes to exit.

  9. press on CTRL + ALT + DELETE to restart the computer. The server should now start normally.

  A note more:

  If you don't see not an overview of NVRAM, see option records, trying to erase the configuration...

  Unplug and power off of the PV220. Restart the PERC BIOS, make sure you're on the PERC external and clear configuration. Connect up to 220, power and restart the server, you should now get another set-match and should display disks.

  Hello people.

  We must change our Dell PowerVault LTO4-120 on a machine that could be a PC running Ubuntu or even a desktop apple computer running Mac os 10.4.

  The problem is, how would it be possible to get a driver that works?

  I know not how, but on Ubuntu, the pilot acknowledged in st0, but taken 32hours (!) to fill a bunch of 800 GB by using tar - cvf with a block size of 2048 k.

  Does anyone have an idea on the alternative drivers or something?

I guess my question is what are the necessary elements to make this seemless depolyment. What are some of the necessary things. I was going to buy an adaptec host adapter but which? Which cable should, what backup software is recommended etc.. Please help because I've already lost a lot of data prompting me to get a backup unit.

• Management Dell Powervault 220 s of Poweredge 2950

  Hi all

  I am new to the forum and would be very happy for any advice you could offer.

  I'm looking to re-purpose some old material for WDS. We have an older PE2950 I would use, as well as a Powervault 220 s that would be used for storing images.

  Now, I know there are many messages from forum on this subject, but I feel that I may have a unique situation, since only add-in cards I have to interface with the PV are HP SC11Xe.

  I guess my first question here is that will work? After installing the card, I can see readers in the PV during startup and they appear even in the management of the computer, but I can't do anything with the volume.

  We are not looking to dump a lot of money in this server, because it is quite old. We are mainly looking to move away from a WDS VM running on a Mac Mini Server, and I thought this might be a better option.

  We have an old server that was originally set to run the PV; a PE1850, but the specifications are not acceptable.

  For what it's worth, the PV was originally created as a split volume.

  Hello, cameron.tropser.

  First of all, I can say that the HP SC11Xe won't work with Dell Open Manage Server Administrator (OMSA). You have two options: boot in the BIOS HP controller and configure from there or use the controller inside the PE1850 (?).

  If this was used originally with the PD1850, then the config is likely, always on this controller.

  Beyond that, you won't be able to configure/manipulate volumes via OMSA.

  I hope it's useful.

• PowerVault MD3000 to swap MD1000 controller card possible?

  Hi all

  We have a few MD3000s end of LIFE that we want to reuse for other purposes. Is it possible to simply replace the MD3000 with ones MD1000 controller card and assign a MD1000 essentially? The reason why we must do, it is because we can buy the slower red Western Digital disks that will work for our needs and with the MD3000 we are locked into buying Dell brand readers. I understand that we need a perc 5 or 6 card as well.

  Thanks for the help

  Sorry for the delay, the JT517 is the most recent part number. These are the same just part the JT517 is a more recent reference number and it was used to replace HN240.

• Problems DELL SAS MD3000 ESXi 4.1 U1

  We run a Vmware Cluster 2 node. This configuration 2 non-redundant host with 2 single port in the DELL MD3000 raid controllers. Each node has a single cable to its own port unique on the MD3000 raid controller. There is a shared LUN that the two hosts using as a common data store.

  The problem is that on the two hosts 2 we contstant receive advice such as:

  "Path frequent changes of State are producing for the vmhba2:C0:T0:L3 path." This may indicate a problem of storage. "Device assigned:

  These comments that we receive on the two hosts ESXi. Performance of the guests is very poor.

  For a test on a single host, I moved all the VMS to a secondary data store (iSCSI). Performance in events where to go after this problem. But when I start to go trough the client data store vSphere problems appear almost instantly.

  It seems that the 2 controllers are fighting for control of records

  Does anyone have a tip or a solution?
