• Additional LUN in CX300 not seen by the ESXi host

  Hello.  We have an ESXi server.  There are currently two VM.  The data store is in the Dell - EMC CX300 SAN.  We want to add more virtual machines then I burned another logic unit number in the SAN.  My co-admin who manages the ESXi said that he could not see from the ESXi Server!  He needs to restart the ESXi Server?  What he must do to make the additional storage space is available on the ESXi Server?

  Thanks in advance.

  He will have to rescan the HBAS. And maybe even twice...

• Virtual machine unavailable during the snapshot

  Hello

  I wanted to check with others to see how snapshots affect your virtual machines. I work in several small VMware environments and have seen similar effects when taken snapshots VMs.

  Today I made a SQL server (Windows 2K 8 running SQL 2008) fueling a sharepoint site. The snapshot lasted about 30 seconds and during this time, the sharepoint site was not available. In this case the ESX Server runs on a 1.5 3.5 years HP DL380 G5 with a HP MSA2324 G2 SAN on the back-end.

  After noticing the outtage service I tried taking a file & server snapshots print somewhere else, in this case running ESX 4.0 on a HP DL380 G6 with an EMC CX300 on the back-end. In this case, I also experienced a service outtage, I was unable to access file shares when the snapshot. In this case, the snapshot took a few minutes to complete, I guess it is because data drives are on 7.2 K disks. During the first minute of the snapshot I couldn't access the shares, once he got close to 100%, I was able to access file shares.

  In both scenarios, I only lost a ping, from the beginning of the snap. When deleting snapshots, I have not experienced any loss of service.

  Is this a normal experience or could it be caused by a misconfiguration or a lack of resources?

  Thank you

  I would have a look at the Snapshots of understanding . Depending on the options that you have chosen with your snapshot - suspend or memory from the operating system will freeze activity until the snapshot is completed. Also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/5962168

  Hej folkens.

  Skal vi til at skifte our gamle EMC CX300 (Dell) SAN, city og lige om der var nogle foreslag til herinde kandidater hore.

  VI har I dag 5 ESX 'er med godt 45 invited og en SQL, og bruger ca 6 dataplads pa SAN to information' and.

  Skal vi til at kore Sharepoint med approx. 2000 aktive brugère og vi regner med at bruge ca 1 TB plads til det pa SQL' in. Summa summarum, det er ikke vilde maengder plads vi skal bruge, snarere performance.

• ESXi and an old EMC CX-200

  Hello

  I built a laboratory with a couple of Dell 2950 s so far, a switch of brocade SAN and EMC cx-200.  I had the CX200 for more than 10 years and it works perfectly :-) nice piece of kit for a laboratory, as far as I'm concerned...

  Don't know if there's someone that even these remembers, but I take a stab in the dark here...

  My problem is that my ESXi hosts do not seem to register with her.  (everything works well, the guests see all storage) I don't see no host the cx-200.  Normally with our new VNX, hosts automatically record their WWN.  This does not happen with my cx-200, so I'm expecting to rounding is fairly new, or it may never have been supported.

  There is a way to manually add hosts, but surprisingly, he asked an IP address rather than a WWN.  When I put the IP address of the ESXi servers in, it says that it cannot communicate with the host... that does not surprise me much.

  So I guess maybe there is someone who needs to go on the ESXi hosts for this to work because I can't find the configuration settings ESXi to push the record to an IP address.

  Does anyone know if there is an agent who goes on ESXi hosts?  and if yes is this abvailable, or could it be something to EMC, I guess they no longer or give because they want me to buy a NEW SAN :-(which I will obviously not do for my laboratory...

  Comments or ideas on this would be very appreciated.  It is not essential, but I really wanted to mask one LUN on the SAN that I need to connect to multiple hosts who will run PHEVS.  Obviously I can hide the LUN to the ESXi esxcli level... but just wondering whether or not it is a dead-end on the SP side

  Thank you

  Bill

  To be honest I have first experience with CX300, but it should work on CX200 as well. To work around the problem, you can manually record on EMC Navisphere host. If I remember well there are Navisphere GUI button for it but it can be done simply through NaviCLI.

  Manually enter the path with host, SP, port, initiatortype, failovermode and array commpath defined. You can repeat the command for each entry.
  

  navicli h 10.32.167.35 storagegroup - setpath-gname-o - SGNAME - hbauid 50:06:01:60:B9:A0:4 D: 58:50:06:01:63:39:A0:4 D: 58 - sp a - adapter 1 - type 3 - ip 10.1.1.1 - host HOSTNAME - failovermode 1 - arraycommpath 1

  Because you do not have the EMC CX agent on hosts (ESX host) you'll have to discover WWN of your self, but this isn't a big problem, right?

• Can EMC CX500 and ESX4 HCL - close comment EMC?

  Hi all

  Much wanted as operate ESX4 on our cx500. I realize that it is the end of LIFE and end of life is not before 2011. I was wondering if anyone knew if EMC intends to certify the CX300-400-500, etc. on ESX4? I really hate to subscribe to the upgrade of the forklift EMC every 2 years and the CX500 is still a viable unit, in my eyes.

  Someone at - it insights, advice or info if EMC is considering this?

  thnx

  Ah well, I'll try it without installing the agent.

• 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

  > > > > According to the profile of the ESX data replicated to the site of DR it can be cost-effective to improve unity DR to another CX4-120 and use MirrorView together with SRM or if RecoverPoint remains the preferred - solution have CLARiiON both production and DR site able to support the CLARiiON RecoverPoint splitter

  Hi emc2006

  I'll answer your questions separated by your topics:

  1 - What is the factor that you want to compare between these two products? In the link below, you will find the performance of the NI PXI-5660 RF Signal Analyzer system.
  2. you can develop this feature of programming in software Application development, i.e. of LabVIEW.
  3. Yes, NI´s vector signal Analyzer could run preconformite or EMC compliance analyses. In the same link below, you will find in the subdivision of Applications.

• bat - emc labview

  Hello

  I program of the United Nations (BAT - emc, a field generation software), which is supposed to call a labview llb and let him start the vi It contains.

  On a computer, the operation proceeds as planned, but on another computer (that I must now USE), it does not work.

  I tried to visualize what is happening with "Process Monitor", but I admit not knowing how to interpret all this. LabVIEW seems well try open the llb but don't about it apparently not...

  I said that I have the demo of labview on both pc pour l'instant. I also put in the capture process by taking monitor PJ (it's not very readable in .csv so if someone a process monitor tell me, I'll send it en pml)

  A big thank you to those who can help me...

  I solved my problem: had to add "*" to export in the list vi, in order to allow the export of all the vi.

  Thanks anyway.

• Foglight for monitoring EMC DMX storage

  The EMC DMX is not listed as a device in charge which can be monitored through Foglight. Has anyone successfully been able to use Foglight to monitor one of these devices and is there by any chance any type of documentation or guide that may give a glimpse of how it has been implemented?  Thanks in advance!

  The DMX product range seems to be gradually eliminated by EMC. Foglight for storage management does not officially support any of them, but they are sufficiently similar to CLARiiON and berries VNX from our point of view, you have the chance to their follow-up as well. We cannot provide support for this however.

  If you do not want to try, there is one thing that you should pay attention to: you must have version 4.6.2.3 or SMI-S Provider EMC 4.6.2.9 (inspired Enabler 7.6.2.26 Solution https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-19629) installed. Later versions do not appear to support collection DMX arrays to all SMI-S.

  I hope this helps.

• Switch N4032F and connectivity EMC VNX 5400

  Currently have R720 Dell servers connected to N4032F with Dell twinax cables and

  Reference Dell EqualLogic SAN 6210 connected to N4032F with Dell twinax cables.

  Want to connect EMC VNX 5400 (a ports SFP + with the fiber GBIC)

  Can I remove the EMC VNX IGBC and connect it to the Twinax cables or what I put GBIC in N4032F and connect them with fiber?

  Or do I need something else? EMC asked if Dell stuff not active/active on their ports?

  Hello

  Can I connect an EMC Data Domain, working as a VTL (with EMC Networker) directly on the fabric of the interconnections of a UCS 2.1?

• Compatibiltiy cables Twinax Cisco with EMC VNX/e

  Hello

  I would like to know about Cisco Twinax cables Compatibiltiy storage EMC VNX/e - connectivity between UCS fabric Interconnect and EMC VNX/e.

  The Twinax cables of Cisco to address following are compatible with EMC VNX and e series platforms:

  • SFP-H10GB-CU1M = 1 m 10 G SFP + Twinax cable assembled, passive
  • SFP-H10GB-CU3M = 3 m 10 G SFP + Twinax cable assembled, passive
  • SFP-H10GB-CU5M = 5 m 10 G SFP + Twinax cable assembled, passive
  • SFP-H10GB-ACU7M = 7 m 10 G SFP + Twinax assembled cable, active
  • SFP-H10GB-ACU10M = 10 m 10 G SFP + Twinax assembled cable, active

  Kindly advice. Thank you.

  From what I've seen on the EMC forums, Active cables are supported, passive are not.

• FCoE Multihop EMC VNX 5300 to Cisco UCS FI / Series Blade B

  Hi all

  Having a performance problem with FCoE multihop of UCS.

  The presentation is as follows:

  UCS 5108 chassis--> 6248UP FI--> pair of N5k (5548)--> 10gig FCoE EMC VNX 5300 2 x 2 port card

  Everything is functional - I can't ping from tissues to the pwwn EMC n5k cf.

  I can see the paths in vmware on the vhbas everything is in place and active. The VMware is set to round robin and the side EMC ALUA 4.

  I'm at a loss on how to solve it more. The SAN is connected to the fabric with om3 fiber LC + 10 GB SR SFP. UCS has a pair separated from fcoe port fabric channels k 5 down to YEW (the help of twinax cables). The data are separated on its OWN virtual machine. Essentially, I followed the guide from cisco on how to proceed:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/ps9670/products_configuration_example09186a0080c13e92.shtml

  The hosts are not boot from SAN for now, they are started from storage USB flash on the blade.

  The show on the 5ks flogi shows all connected, and as I said before, I can see the LUNS on the blades. When howerver I try uplod a file ISO DIS 2.5 GB in size in a data store takes about 2 ½ hours.

  I have the most recent UC 2.1 (2) a firmware installed. The N5ks have NX - OS 6.x. The blades have ESXi 5.1 with the latest drivers enet and installed cisco fnic.

  The default qos for n5k is configured.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Nick,

  Interesting observation. We have an IP hsrp in catalyst 4500 as a router for network management with ip redirects on a reason any. I have disabled ip forwarding as well and currently I do 30K iops with fabric RR double active path and no error in the CPNI on esxi logs.

  I'll have to do additional tests to see the weather, that it is a coincidence or a fix, by activating the ip redirects again. But it looks promising.

  As my e/s load is done with the network management of e/s generator (http://labs.vmware.com/flings/io-analyzer) should have no effect on the routed network FCOE...  He latest even came to my mind to check network Ethernet side.

  Thank you Nick for a great tip.
