Design storage for VMS Server files

Hello

I need help. We expect the SAN for our file server VMs who currently have sizes of 2-3TBs volume, because its for a single Department and we cannot separate the directories of the volume.

What we use is CX3 - 80 with 300 GB drives, what I thought was create between 3-4 DAEs Metaluns and LUNS for the ESX. However I'm not sure what LUN size I should use and VMware block size should I use if I have 2-3TBs volume sizes. What I do is rationalize some servers of files MS Cluster of virtual machines. Currently the file servers have 4 volumes of 1.6 to and I need to migrate these VM. So what I have is 3-4 VMs attached with data d:\ 1.6TBs drives each.

Can anyone give me some advice on sizing and sizing of VMFS LUNs.

Thank you very much

If you want to go with vmfs (2 TB if it is the size you need), block size should be 8 If you want your s vmdk to 2 TB. There will be more chance for the wasted space.

I agree with Fred and present the storage in the RDM.

    Hello chrismullinax,

  • APPL_SERVER_ID is different in the CBD for each server file.

    I have 6 knots as forms + apache level, 2 nodes as level of CM and on a single DB node runs.

    I asked him just the value of view SERVER_ID FND_NODES. It shows 8 different SERVER_ID values for each server!
    Fortunately, it is the value of APPL_SERVER_ID in each of the dbc file present on the servers.

    My question is, is it normal to have different values of SERVER_ID for different servers...?

    How can I delete a file on my iOS device that I downloaded from my iCloud? I just want to keep the Preview on my iOS device without using my storage iOS for the entire file. This means that the file is still in the iCloud and available to be downloaded to any device.

    In practice, I want to be able to scan and download through my documents located in my iCloud and once I didn't need them on my iOS device I would like 'load their return to the cloud' to my storage of the iOS device is not used.

  • BlackBerry smartphones abandon the Roxio software? Is mass storage the best method for transferring multimedia files

    Should I give up on Roxio software and rely solely on the method of mass storage to transfer media files?

    I reinstalled several times the software, but whenever I try to use the Roxio Media Manager on my PC max CPU usage of on 100% and dies. Once, he worked - and as posted here by someone else, it seem very good - but each others times it just hangs.

    After reading now widely through this site and several others, it seems there are serious issues with Roxio. So my question for those of you with BB9000 more time under your belt: do I persevere with Roxio or give up and just rely on mass storage? It looks not pretty, but I moved ringtones, video and photographs around smoothly.

    Am I losing on the compression features in Roxio which I don't get mass storage? If this isn't the case, then my inclination is going to be drop Roxio and stick with mass memory until they fix the bugs or I see on this site a better way.

    Thanks to bifocals. I used the MediaSync before and Yes you are right, this works very well for the music. I was hoping to use the Roxio to transfer (and compression) files of images, photos digital high resolution of small files just for occasional display on the BlackBerry. Œuvres drag / move, but I cannot copy a lot of pictures. Not sure if it is a compression problem or if I just need a bigger memory card? I'll keep experimenting. I hope BB/Roxio will receive enough complaints sort...

    Thanks for the reply. Happy ' 09.

  • Loading a flat file for Linux server

    Hi all
    I ask that my previous question otherwise. I need to load flat files in a directory on a linux server. ODI is installed on a windows machine. I created the physical components of the architecture of FILES / logic and I test the interface with a small file. I am receiving an error message = "file not found". Questions:
    1. do I need an agent of ODI on the linux server to achieve this?
    2. in the definition of the data to the FILE Server I inclulde host / username / password and it successfully tested. Was it necessary? I only did this for my windows files.
    3 understand #2 above, when defining the physical schema, I have included the host name. Is this correct? Since it is Linux the slashes go in the other direction - Yes? [I know it's a stupid question].

    I am sure that the file exists. All recommendations are much appreciated!

    1.) Yes, you need an agent on linux to achieve this. Or create a samba share that allows you to access files on windows linux
    http://askankit.blogspot.com/2009/02/step-by-step-guide-to-install-Oracle.html
    (2.) no it's not necessary for a base file of dataserver. These details are necessary for a DB according to technology.
    (3.) the host name is not necessary. It is governed by the location of the agent. If the agent is at the ABC's of the machine, then the host is ABC.

    In ODI, the agent is a server and ODI installed on your windows machine is just a client that connects to the server to perform the work.

  • is this setting for VMs cpu limitation cause performance hit for ESX server?

    We had recently come vmware consultant do a health check.  One of the things he mentioned briefly that we should change is that we should remove the limitations of cpu that we fixed for VMS.  His reasoning is that it causes needless overhead on the ESX servers.

    I was wondering what were the thoughts of everyone on this, I thought that the limitation of the cpu was a good thing because he stopped to a virtual machine in addition to cpu utilization... All opinions are appreciated.

    I agree with shishir08 here, the limits should be carefully thoughtover and only be implemented for specific vm:s.

    Why limit a machine if there are resources available for this purpose to consume?

    However, I think that the actions and reservations always should be applied.

  • What to do with free mini PCIe - Flash for the swap file

    Hello

    in my T500, there is a free mini near the location of SIM location PCIe, but that's only half of length. I found an SSD at SuperTalent in these Dimensions. Someone out there who has tried to use this slot for storage, for example $TEMP or swap file?

    Kind regards

    Ronny

    It will not work. This SSD is designed for the Dell Mini 9, which uses a special type of mini PCI-e slot [FLASH_CON]. This slot machine is connected to a PATA or SATA controller on the motherboard.

    The DSS will not work on PCI-e standard minis housing because they are not connected to a PATA or SATA controller.

    I think that half height mini PCI-e slot is used for Intel Turbo Memory.
