EqualLogic HIT for VMware

We just purchased a 6100 Equallogic - I was installing the virtual appliance HIT the vCenter plugin - I see that it must have a network connection on the network iSCSI in addition to the management network.

Can I just add a machine virtual port group port to my virtual switch of the existing iSCSI network so I can then add a second network adapter on the virtual computer?

Will there be an impact on performance on iSCSI connections if I do this?

Thank you!

HY, Yes, we must configure two network cards on the device: one on the MGMT network and the other on the iSCSI network. You can simply add a portgroup VM to the virtual switch iSCSI network (where also the VMkernel ports for iSCSI are configured) and bind it to the NIC to the iSCSI device.

EqualLogic has provided the proper documentation and download the appliance (OVF).

There's no impact on the iSCSI connection by configuring it this way. We use iSCSI on the other virtual machines also with this binding configuration (to use iSCSI on the virtual machine itself).

Kind regards

    VASA is a feature you don't need basic VSM features.  Which is what the release notes are trying to say.   VASA allows VMware request more information on storage volumes.   I.e. through VASA VCS calls can show that a volume is RAIDed storage, integrates snapshots or replicas.   Currently, the usefulness of the VASA is limited, even when it is available.   VASA is the first step to VMware to better understand a storage array capabilities. More features will be coming in future versions of ESXi.

    However, to make the VASA work any, the storage provider must provide software 'glue' for specific HW calls of a query of VCS.   VSM, is what has the code, known as a "provider of VASA.   A translator of sorts.

  • Module Extension of Multipathing EqualLogic for VMware vSphere 5 Std.

    Hi all

    Can install EqualLogic Multipathing plug-in for VMware with vSphere 5.0 STD license?

    Thank you.

    The file PDF of Dell is indeed the case - you must be at least vSphere Enterprise in order to use any third party Multipathing module (such as Dell MEM, EMC PowerPath/VE, etc.).

    See the link depending on which compares the features available in each edition of vSphere.  The feature that we are talking about here is called 'Storage API for Multipathing' and only in Enterprise and Enterprise Plus:

    http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

    You can still use the native multipathing in vSphere, but unless you upgrade to Enterprise you will not be able to use the MEM.

    I hope this helps.

  • HIT for RHEL 7

    When support for RHEL based 7 facilities? We prepare for you present to a RHEL 7 from datacenter and we can't seem to find a HIT for Equallogic

    So, ONCE in 2015, is basically what you're saying.

    Wow this is a very tight timetable for a company of $60 US per year.

    Its been over a year since the last version of Linux has HIT (April 2014) and in terms of support of RHEL7:

    «Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (Maipo) is based on Fedora 19, upstream Linux kernel 3.10, systemd 208 and GNOME 3.8.» The first beta was announced December 11, 2013, and a release candidate first aired April 15, 2014. On June 10, 2014 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 was officially released. »

    Rhel7 has been officially available for more than a year, none supported yet of Dell.  I hope that Dell realizes that is telling its Linux customers to shop elsewhere.

    Klick on VMware integration or eqlsupport.dell.com/.../download.aspx

    Its a set of programs. Most likely, you are looking for the MEM (Module of Extension Multipath) and VSM (Virtual Storage Manager), formerly known as the ASM/VE. The last is the "plugin" for the connection between your group EQL and vSphere vCenter. His only usable in the 'new' WebClient vSphere and not for the old c# one.

  • x 4012 MTU for VMware NSX

    Hello

    I am looking for two 10 GB switches to low price without perfomance high-end to create an environment of demonstration NSX. VMware NSX has only one requirement difficult and an option for the integration complete.

    A 10 GB of Dell switch x 4012 would comply with the following requirements:

    • MTU > = 1600 (for the encapsulation of packages)
    • Support IGMP (HA hybrid mode but optional in our test configuration)

    I'm not able to find a reference in the documentation of these two characteristics.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    If you have another idea or suggestion, feel free to contact me.

  • OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

    OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

    This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

    It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

    This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

    Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

    I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

    Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

    There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

    This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.

  • Free BSD for VMWare Virutal Machine image

    Hello everyone

    This is my first post in any VMWare community forum and I would advice to take advantage of ready-made virtual machines available on the FreeBSD site:

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.2-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/

    This page from the same site indicates the hard image for VMWare, but my last copy of VMWare Workstation 12 player accept files .vmx or .vmc - not hard:

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/README.txt

    Is this mean that hard images can be loaded into other paid products VMWare?

    I look forward to receiving tips.

    Thanks in advance

    Ah, you use the drive, I just read the part of the workstation

    OK, so, here we have to work around the problem. Create a virtual machine, the select part to store the disk in a single file and not split disc.

    When you create, delete the newly created hard.

    Copy the VMDK you downloaded from the website of bsd in the VM folder and rename the hard on behalf of the deleted vmdk.

  • Problem with the video for "VMware vSphere Hypervisor - install and configure.

    Hello

    In this page: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?lp=default & p = free-esxi5

    When you click on the "Installation and configuration" tab, we have access to videos for vSphere Hypervisor.

    But at the moment, none of the video can be shown.  I tried this in my computer at home as well as my company computer and none works.

    Someone who works for VMware please check this problem.

    Thank you

    OK, I just found what was "wrong".  These videos are "optimized" for Internet Explorer!   Yes, I tried on Firefox and Chrome on XP Pro and Win7, nothing worked.  Then after reading your message, I thought ' what happens if I try that? "  ... and indeed, the videos are displayed inside, I.e. I got suddenly a bad feeling, like I was back at the beginning of the 21st century!

    Come on!  Who would still do 'optimized' only website to know today?   I'm sure they will not be displayed on my Tablet either.
