DRS storage and the ASB

Interesting question delegate froom:

When setting a storage DRS cluster, is possible to add a specific attribute data stores in a cluster?

Yes. I did a lot of time. VSA data warehouses are simply NFS volumes at the end of the day, & DTS fully supports both NFS & VMFS data stores.

However the licensing question. You need to make sure that you have a license that supports DTS functionality.

Since we are aiming the ASB in small and medium-sized businesses, many of these customers can buy a company more license for DTS.

  • public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

    Hello

    So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

    Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

    Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

    vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

    vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

    My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

    So my proposed configuration would be:

    vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

    vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

    vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

    If it works?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

    Otherwise how does he know all send properly?

  • Storage and the call of the values in the table

    Hey people, I have a project of complex expressions whose ultimate goal is to place a large number of layers in a grid and then move each layer until a single point on the grid according to a number of factors animation.

    During the creation of this project, I find myself wanting to take advantage of a kind of function array, I'm used to some programming languages, but I don't know if it is available in AE or javascript.  In short, I'm used to a table where you could do the following (please ignore the syntax, that I realize that AE uses parentheses for a different purpose, which we will return in a moment):

    CREATE array (100)

    Array (1) = 4.5

    Array (2) = 6.2

    Array (3) = 1.2

    ... etc.  These values may be inserted into the 'picture' (which is really more a spreadsheet to a table AE as far as I can tell) arbitrarily and then called.  As in, you could add array (1) + array (2) and get 10.7.

    So in a sense, the difference between this function and an array of EI is there a "dependent" variable, whereas the EI table behaves like a matrix, where all values are independent.

    Please note that this is not a question about the creation of value in an expression that persist over time.  This array is created and called within an image.  I was just wondering if it is possible to create essentially a variable of type 'list '.

    See you soon,.

    ARI

    I don't know that I see the distinction between this way and the way of JavaScript/AE:

    arr = [];

    arr [1] = 4.5;

    arr [2] = 6.2;

    arr [3] = 1.2;

    arr [1] + arr [2] / / gives you 10.7

  • NFS storage and the link 'delete '.

    In another thread, I realized that, in order to remove the 'link' between an ESXi host and a NFS server, I have to use "remove".

    Above the list of data stores, there is a link called "Delete" (which is between "Refresh" and "add storage... »).  What is the use of this link with NFS?  Or it is not logical at all?

    TIA

    From what I see after a few tries, "Delete" with NFS storage does NOT remove the data store, nor its contents.  'delete' is equivalent to 'dismantle' for NFS.

    So, IMO, the link is a misnomer: it should be 'unmount' instead of 'delete' when an NFS storage is selected.  In other words, a display bug.

  • The addition of storage and the new controller scsi causes existing NIC become ghost

    Hello

    I have two Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 VM that each have two NICs configured to connect to different networks. When I add additional hard disks (RDM) connected to a new SCSI controller and restart the virtual network adapters one existing machine disappears (it becomes a ghost card) and a new network card with the default config is displayed in its place.

    The result is that I have to go through the process of removing the ghost network card and reconfigure the new card with the correct network settings and connect to the correct port group.

    Anyone know why this is or how to avoid it?

  • Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

    Hello

    I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

    Thank you.

    $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

    You set a Datastorecluster?

    If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

    Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

    But you can use something like this

    New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

    This will automatically select the VMHost.

    The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

    DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

  • Asking only once and the storage of information.

    Hello

    I would like to start for the FIRST time to have my application to request a phone store so that number number so when you are prompted for the end user can choose to receive a text on my Web site with out having to put in the number evertime.

    From what I've read here you can't just of the information with the user information.

    I can do AJAX and the popup box.  But the storage and the first part only once I'm a little to the 'green' on.

    Thank you

    Probably the simplest way I can think to do is through cookies.  You can set a cookie that stores the phone number and another that tells you if you have requested the digit preceding.  Finally, whenever you launch the app, you check the second cookie, if it has not set will prompt you for the phone number, otherwise do not ask for it.

    An introduction to the use of cookies with JS can be found here - http://www.w3schools.com/JS/js_cookies.asp

  • Content of PersistenObject disappears after you remove the app and the new facility

    Hi guys,.

    I discovered the following problem with my app:

    1. when I update app with new version all persistent data is stored very well.

    2. when I delete the app and install it again - some of the persistent data disappears, some is always there.

    I think it depends on who what is persisted. If there are classes of applications store is deleted on uninstall, if there are classes of system store will not be erased.

    Can you tell me about the resource, where it is described?

    Thank you

    I found:

    When you use the persistence model of BlackBerry, data is removed only if the store contains data that belongs to the deleted application.

    For example, if an application stores an object with a package named com.mycompany.application.storage and no other application on the BlackBerry smart phone makes reference to packaging, permanent storage and the deleted application are removed.

  • Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

    I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

    We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

    Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

    Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

    What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

    I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

    If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

    I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

    Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

    Gregg

    With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

    Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

    In short: don't go there.

  • Use the case of the Cluster data without DRS storage store?

    Can someone tell me please the use case of the Cluster data without DRS storage store?

    Virtually no,.

    The only one that is useful is the aggregation of resources of data warehouses in a cluster data store. But it is aggregation of resources in its crudest form. When you create a virtual machine and the use of a cluster as the destination data store, you must always select the data store that will store the virtual machine.

    Storage DRS off =

    No calculation of initial investment

    No space load balancing

    No I/O load balancing

    No rule affinity VMDK

    For this purpose a group of data without active DRS storage store is a kind of a data store folder.

  • 10 improvement of the Windows path hangs on "place the external storage and press OK.

    Hello

    This will be my first post on this forum.

    A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba SATELLITE CL10-B-103 for my son. The CL10-B-103 has installed Windows 8.1. Tonight I plan to make the installation of the Windows 10 upgrade because Windows 8.1 announced that he was ready for the upgrade.

    The trial progressed slowly but smooth and without problems until now... As the laptop is equipped with only an HD 32 GB the trial upgrade was informed that I had to stick a USB key. After that, the trial continues slowly but smoothly, but who did not question because I had all night. However after the first reboot of the system when he was about 60 or 66% of installation of process this error message showed: place the external storage and press OK. It's very strange since the key USB has been removed at all and was still in the system. It is strange, is that both the OK button as the Cancel button are not selectable. Without passing by the touchpad, not a tab or an entry.

    Some community online Windows 10 post mentions that, via the BIOS, the system must be initiated from this USB key. I tried to reboot the system with DEL, F2 or F8, but I couldn't get into the BIOS and wasn't able to change the boot sequence.

    After each "restart" the same error message appears. It does not matter that the USB is in it or not.

    So, my conclusion is that my CL10-B-103 is suspended/East in a loop. I don't know how to proceed.

    Please, I can really use some help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Because it seems that I can not only edit/change a message I am answering my own post now...

    The problem seems to be resolved. When I was able to use the touchpad I could push the OK butten and the upgrade product now.

    Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • What is normal for the backup of XP SP3 and the startup type of the removable storage service?

    I was getting ready to plan and attempt a clean full backup for tonight.  I have the backups created on several entities, currently backup but have a very stable system at the moment and wanted to try to make a clean backup file.  That day has finally arrived after been forced a corrupted system files hard drive failure "repair" critical and forced me to go back to SP1a (my Windows Genuine valid CD which I highly appreciate) in order to obtain any boot system, including safe mode and console mode.  Repair has presented many incompatibilities at the level of program and system, including the basic WMI and COM of the corruption system.  Three months later... it of time to update my backups and recovery procedures and hope that this does not happen!

    In preparation, I decided to refresh my memory on the use of the backup and by browsing the Help and Support Service Center files.  One of the first things I noticed was "storage removable service must be started for the backup works correctly."  Audit and inspection of my existing Services using computer (Local) management, I have observed that after a normal windows startup, the removable storage service is not started with manual startup type.  I use a USB drive connected as my backup media, and it is fully operational as a normally formatted NTFS data disk volume.  I have windows indexing disabled on this volume.  Is the type of service required removable storage of normal manual started?  The backup program will automatically start this service?  I know I've never manually started it myself and backups seem to work well.  Should we change the startup type to automatic?

    -Thanks, Jerry

    I would like to leave as a textbook.

    The Service will start (if capable) as soon as ntbackup.exe begins.

    If you want to see, with your Services window related to the function of RS place and it will not work and the manual.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Ntbackup.exe

    Click OK to start the backup and the Restore Wizard.

    Go back to your Services window and press F5 to refresh and SR Service should now work.

    When you exit the backup and the Restore Wizard, the RS Service stops (it may take a few minutes), and you may need to close the Services applet and reopen it to notice she's moved to manual and not running.

    You will see things like present to the event system log viewer:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    The removable storage service entered the running state.

    (this is when you go out the backup and the Restore Wizard and wait a few minutes... then the Service stops itself...)

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    Description:
    The removable storage service entered the stopped state.

    It's like aid and assistance...  Most of the people (including the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft) say to set the Startup Type to automatic, but you don't have to...  Set it to manual and it will start fine when he needs start (if he can).

    There is no need for these Services (and many other Services in XP) as starting at each restart and run all day without doing anything.

    Here is a good list that will help you understand your XP Services:
