• Server and storage suggestion

  Hi all

  Please suggest a class machine good server & a NAS (approximately 12 TB) storage for the ESXi 5.x installation.

  I have a budget of 1600000 INR ($26000). Please note that we have another 4 ESXi servers in our environment with local storage. Intend to use this storage to these servers as well.

  Regrads,

  10G compared to 1 GB and fiber network is pretty much a draw until our days and all this boils down to your infrastructure.  If you already have fiber switch up its probably cheaper just go with fiber instead of get a 10 GB iSCSI SAN and a 10 GB switch, however if you do not have fiber 10 GB switch with 10 GB iSCSI is a good solution.  The nice thing about 1 GB iSCSI is it can be attached anywhere pretty easily because it requires just a nic, NIC 10 GB start to be this much too as the price on them is going down and they become more frequent.

  Another SAN manufacturing that makes just iSCSI is the Dell Equallogic series without.  These box isn't bad and REALLY simple to use with a wide range of configuration options.

  nhagoort suggested VSAN that is a very interesting option which I think will be a good possible fit for a lot of people on the road, however, VSAN is a technology of generation 1 and vmware is currently working on obtaining reports more as currently VSAN statement falls a bit short.  I'll direct you to the following article: http://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/2799p4/root_cause_analysis_of_my_vsan_outage/

  Now this particular problem is a local table of low-grade controller in the Dell server that caused the problem, but the article goes over how VSAN works very well and also how they have solved.  I have no doubt with good material VSAN might be really good, especially with a lot of SSD, fusion IO cards ect coming out, however I have never been one to jump on the bandwagon Gen1 outside the trial / lab / dev stuff.

  Hope this has helped.

• EqualLogic PS series console RJ45 cable pinout

  Hello world

  I have an Equallogic storage array to use for the test which I believe is a ps100e, with two controllers blue sata ports having back series RJ45. Nothing I've used so far has had any kind of traffic from them, then someone can help me with a pinout of the console cable that was included with the devices? (I got was the machine itself). I saw a few summaries puts online buy them, but I'm a bit of a hurry and don't have much of a budget, so I was hoping to do so they are considered non-standard.

  Thank you!

  Here is the pinout settings and baud.   Make sure that this flowcontrol is disabled on the serial port.

  We find this info on the site Web of Equallogic.

  The title of the solution

  Cable to the serial Console, identifying Type I, II controllers, the RJ-45 connector pinout

  Details of the solution

  Type 1:

  FRU PN IS 95-0444. Cable 'dongle' will have a white label with 51-0003-02 marked top. It is 10 inches long, black, with DB - 9 (M) money and a micro DB-9 at the other end.

  You can order the dongle as a Molex 83421-9052 reference number to search on google. You will also need to a modem cable Null to go with it, if you don't have one, easy to find, even the most Radio Shack has them.

  Type 2:

  FRU PN 95-0517. Cable will have a white label with 51-0008 marked top. It is 10 feet long, black with the RJ-45 at the other end and a DB-9 (F)

  Here is the pinout of the connector RJ-45 series of EqualLogic Type-2 (SATA 2 command Module):

  1 - DTR (out)

  2 - CTS (en)

  3 - chassis Gnd

  4 - RxD (in)

  5 - TxD (out)

  6 Sig Gnd

  7 - RTS (out)

  8 - DSR (en)

  In the current firmware versions we do not deliberately set, or answer, the control signals (DTR, CTS, DSR, RTS), then you must either configure the device you connect so that it ignores them, or provide telesignalisations the according to the needs.

  The series settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.

  Thanks for the additional information. When the switches are stacked, they act as a logical switch. Then when you plug with an OFFSET you are basically creating a loop and hook up a switch on himself. Desempilement switches and just use the OFFSET for the interconnection of the switch and you should see the GAL go active.

• Question about Equallogic snapshots.

  Hello forum

  I could not confirm this, but instant never need to commit anything to the basic volume?

  Lets say I have 10 snapshots and delete the oldest? There will be a load of e/s to validate these instant changes?

  Also, if someone could point me to any type of indepth explanation of this technique of snapshot, I would be interested to read all that.

  Thank you!

  N ° current data are already on the base volume.  There is nothing to commit.   Only if you are completely restoring a volume from a snapshot will be there in writing for the base volume.

  Solution title TABLE: how the snapshot reserve space is allocated and used

  Solution details Snapshot Reserve Allocation and use

  -------------------------------------

  In a series group PS, snapshots can protect against errors, of a volume

  virus or the database. A cliché represents the content of a volume

  at the time you created the snapshot. Creating a snapshot does not disturb

  access to the volume, and the snapshot is instantly available allowed

  iSCSI initiators.

  Before you can create snapshots for a volume, you must allocate space (called

  snapshot pool) for snapshots. You set the value of the snapshot reserve

  When you create or modify a volume. Snapshot reserve benefits from the same

  as the volume of the pool data.

  When snapshot data consume entire supply snapshot, the Group remove is

  the oldest snapshots to free up space for new images or sets the volume and

  snapshots offline, according to the policy you selected for instant recovery

  space.

  The functionality for creating snapshots is called hybrid allocate when writing.

  Operation of sharing and snapshot of the page

  -----------------------------------

  A PS Series Group organizes the physical storage into logical segments called pages.

  Each page is composed of several logical blocks. This is similar to the way file

  systems combine areas of physical disk in 'clusters' or 'chunks '. Each page has

  a reference count which records the number of volumes and snapshots that share

  the page.

  When you create a volume, the group creates an internal table, called the volume

  table, which contains pointers to pages that use the volume. When you create

  a snapshot of a volume, the group creates a snapshot table by making a copy of

  the volume table, which is usually an operation in memory that the Group

  run in a transactional manner. For each page of volume in use, the support group increases the

  reference count to indicate that the volume and the snapshot share page.

  Because the group does not move or copy the data or allocates a new pages, photos

  are fast and efficient.

  Reserve of the snapshot stores the differences between the data on the volume and snapshot data

  (in addition to differences between the data of multiple snapshots). When you

  first create a snapshot, the page for the volume and the snapshot tables are

  In brief identical copies and the snapshot consumes no snapshot

  reserve. A reading of the same logical block of the volume application or the

  snapshot returns the same data because the application is reading from the same page.

  However, if you write a page that has a volume and a snapshot of share, snapshot

  reserve is consumed.

  Here's a simplified example of a snapshot operation. In general, no.

  additional I/o operations are needed to manage the data volume or snapshot.

  However, other internal operations can occur due to virtualization and

  data balancing on berries of the PS Series.

  If an application performs a write to 8 KB for a volume containing a snapshot, the

  Group:

  1. determine what page is modified by the write operation.

  2 - If the page is not shared, writes the data to the page.

  3. If the page is shared:

  . (a) allocates a new page of disk space and reduces the instant to reserve

  . the volume of a single page.

  . (b) update the page of volume table to point to the newly allocated page.

  . (c) mark the newly allocated page as having new data on the volume and the references of the

  . original page for unchanged data.

  . (d) writes the data to the new page.

  When writing is complete, if you read the data on the volume, you have access to the

  new page and new data. However, if you read the same logical block of the

  Instant, you get the original data, because the snapshot will always point towards the

  original page. Similarly, if you set a snapshot online, write to the snapshot.

  feature hybrid write protects the original data volume by allocating

  a new page for the new snapshot data.

  Only the first page of writing to a volume shared (or snapshot) consumes additional

  snapshot reserve. Each subsequent entry is considered identical to a writing on a

  non-shared the page because the original data are already protected.

  Functionality similar to hybrid allocate when writing is used in cloning operations.

  However, unlike when you create a snapshot, cloning a volume immediately

  consumes space additional group. If a clone is moved to another pool, data

  is copied during the operation of moving pool.

  Restoring a Volume from a snapshot

  ----------------------------------

  Because of the layout table, restore a volume from a snapshot is very

  quick. First of all, the group automatically creates a snapshot of the volume by copying

  the volume table to a new table of snapshot. Then the Group transposes the page tables

  the volume and the snapshot you selected for the restore operation. NO.

  additional space is required, and no data is moved.

  Deletion of Volumes and Snapshots

  ------------------------------

  Because volumes and snapshots to share pages, if you delete a volume, you

  automatically remove all the clichés associated with the volume.

  You can manually delete snapshots (for example, if you need more of)

  snapshot data). In addition, the group can delete snapshots automatically in the

  following situations:

  1 - failure instant free reserve. If the snapshot data consume the snapshot

  . reserve, the group either deletes the oldest snapshots to free up space for new

  . snapshots or sets the volume and snapshots in offline mode, according to the policy

  . you have chosen for the snapshot space recovery.

  2 - maximum number of snapshots, created from an agreed timetable. If you set up a

  . timetable for the creation of snapshots, you can specify the maximum number of

  . photos you want to keep. Once the program creates the maximum number

  . clichés, the group will delete the oldest snapshot for planning

  . to create a new snapshot.

  Snapshot are deleted in the background queue. The group travels

  the snapshot page table and decremented the reference count on every shared page.

  Any page that has a zero reference count is released into free space. Pages

  with a zero reference count are not released because they are shared with

  the volume or other snapshots.

  Because stereotypes can be automatically deleted, if you want to keep the

  given to a snapshot, you can clone the snapshot.

  Reserve snapshots use agreement

  ------------------------------------

  The snapshot reserve is consumed only if you write a shared volume or snapshot

  page. However, it is difficult to establish a correlation between the amount of data written in one

  volume (or snapshot) with the amount of instant reserve consumed as a result.

  especially if you have multiple snapshots.

  Because the pages consist of several logical blocks, size e/s and distribution

  volume merge affect overall performance of e/s in addition to the snapshot

  reserve its use.

  For example, do much written about a narrow range of logical blocks in a volume

  consumes a relatively low amount of reserve of the snapshot. This is because as Scripture

  the same logic block more than once, does not require not additional snapshot

  reserve.

  However, doing random number wrote a range of logical blocks in a

  volume can consume a large amount of reserve of the snapshot, because many other

  pages are affected.

  In general, use instant reserve depends on the following:

  1. number of entries that occur in the volume (or snapshot) and at least one

  . snapshot exists. In general, more Scriptures tend to use more snapshot reserve.

  . Although multiple writes to the same logical block do not require additional

  . space.

  2 - the range of logical blocks, on which occur the Scriptures. Written in a wide range of

  . logical blocks tend to use more instant reserve written in a narrow

  . rank, because more of the written word are to different pages.

  3. number of snapshots of the volume and timing of the write operations. Most

  . snapshots that you create more snapshot reserve is necessary, unless there is

  . few entries on the volume or snapshots.

  4 - age of snapshot. Snapshots older tend to consume more snapshot reserve only

  . the clichés of recent because the group must retain the original data for a

  . longer time.

  Design Snapshot reserve

  -----------------------

  You cannot create snapshots until you book instant space. Snapshot reserve

  is set as a percentage of the reserve volume (space) for the

  volume.

  When you create a volume, by default, the volume uses instant group-wide

  reserve adjustment. (The reserve in the scale default setting is 100%. You

  can change this default value.) You can change the reserve snapshot setting when you

  create a volume or later, even if the volume is in use.

  Although the snapshot reserve is not used until the volume or writing snapshot occur, it

  is consumed immediately free pool space. For example, if you create a

  fully allocated (not thin provisioned) 200 GB volume and specify a snapshot of 50%

  pool of reserve, free space is immediately reduced to 300 GB (200 GB for the volume

  reserve and 100 GB for Snap reserve), even if there are no pages in use.

  Therefore, before you create a volume, you should consider how many snapshot

  reserves, if any, to assign to the volume. The reserve of the snapshot set to zero (0)

  If you do not want to create snapshots.

  The optimal size of the snapshot reserve depends on the amount and type of

  changes in the volume and the number of shots you want to keep.

  By example, if you set the snapshot reserve 100%, and then create a snapshot.

  You can write to each byte of the volume without missing snapshot

  reserve. However, if you create another snapshot and then write in each byte of

  the volume, the first snapshot is deleted in disk space available for the new snapshot. If

  you set the instant reserve at 200%, there would be a sufficient reserve of snapshot

  for the two snapshots.

  A very conservative strategy in terms of instant reserve sizing is to put the snapshot

  book value at 100 times the number of shots you want to keep. This

  guarantees that keep you at least the number of snapshots, regardless of the

  the number of entries on the volume. However, this strategy is generally allocates

  book an excessive amount of snapshot, because that rarely crush you all the

  the data in a volume during the lifetime of a snapshot.

  The best way to instant size reserves is to assign an initial value to the reserve

  and watch how instant you can keep over a period of time specified under a

  normal workload. If you use tables to create snapshots, allow the

  calendar of work for several days.

  To get an initial value for a snapshot reserve volume, you must estimate

  the quantity and the type of entries in volume and the number of snapshots, you want

  keep. For example:

  -If you wait a few Scriptures or writings which are concentrated in a narrow range

  . logical blocks and you want to keep only a few shots, start with a value

  . 30%.

  -If you wait several entries or entries that are random in a wide range of

  . logical blocks and you want to keep more than a few shots, start with a value

  . 100%.

  If the snapshots are deleted until you reach the desired number of snapshots,

  increase the percentage of snapshot reserve. If you reach the desired number

  shots without consuming much of the instant free reserve, decrease the

  percentage of reserve snapshot. Continue to follow instant reserve and

  adjustments as needed.

  How Thin Provisioning button Snapshot Reserve

  ----------------------------------------------

  The snapshot reserve is based on a percentage of volume reserve (allocated space

  a volume). For a volume fully provisioned, the reserve volume is equal to the

  stated volume size. However, a thin volume put into service, the volume of reserve

  is initially very inferior to the reported size (default is subject to minimum volume

  10% of the reported size) and increases as the written volume occur.

  If you change a thin volume supplied in a volume fully provisioned, the

  amount of reserved snapshot increases automatically, because the volume of reserve

  increase in the size of the stated volume.

  If you change a volume of fully provisioned to thin-provisioned, the amount of

  snapshot of reserve decreases automatically, because the volume of reserve declines.

  However, if the snapshot resulting reserves will be too small to store all the

  existing snapshots, the group will automatically increase the instant reserve

  percentage of value that preserves all existing snapshots.

  Reducing the use of instant reserve

  -------------------------------

  Over time, you can reduce the use of instant reserve by periodically (for example,

  Once a month) defragmentation of databases and file systems. Defrag operations

  try to consolidate segments of files in a volume and, consequently, to reduce the scope

  logical blocks addresses used in the pages of the volume.

  Defragment the data read operations from one place and then write data to a new

  location. So increased use of instant reserve during and immediately

  after defragmentation, because existing snapshots will use more of the usual

  amount of the snapshot reserve. However, snapshots created after defragmentation

  operation must use less instant reserve, because the data on the volume are more contiguous.

  When a volume is highly fragmented, potential reduction of the snapshot reserve

  use can be dramatic, especially after removing the large before you defragment

  snapshots. Defrag operations can also reduce the I/O load on the group,

  because the contiguous data makes more efficient i/o operations, in order to improve the

  e/s overall performance.

  Latest defragmenters are good to reduce the fragmentation that is not seeking to be

  too thorough. Some defragmenters also try to combine the inactive data

  further restricting the likelihood of changes to shared pages. However, are not

  Defragment too frequently.

  Sector alignment may also affect the use of snapshot of the space, especially in

  larger volumes. File systems must be correctly aligned with the sector. It comes

  described in technical reports for VMware and Windows environments.

• Helps the FS7610 PS Series SAN, 10Gb network design

  Hi, we have currently a square of infrastructure EqualLogic SAN and NAS (2 x PS6510E, FS7500), a stack of two PC8024F 10 GB switches, 2 envelopes chassis m1000e blade with the A1 being a set of switches 1 GB m6220 fabric (fabric A2 a battery of the same thing), the tissue being a pile of m8024k B1 10 GB passes, (fabric B2 a battery of the same thing) and a stack of PC6224 two 1 GB (top of the grid GigE) switches.

  We all have this connected to the 10 GB being its own private network 10.1.0.x SAN network and vlan, nice and isolated from all the rest.  The blades can access the iSCSI shares via their network cards of 10 GB which is all on this network 10.1.0.x.  The NIC 1 GB on the blades are on a public network, and the FS7500 of the customer ports are on this network too via the 6224, so NFS connections are established via the public network to 1 GB.

  We intend to invest in an additional PS Series array to the host to a backup site, for replication.  At the same time, we plan to buy a FS7610 to our main site to take advantage of our 10 GB infrastructure and move the FS7500 existing to our backup site, so we can replicate iSCSI and NAS container volumes.

  That's where we could use some help, because now many things have changed.  Now, the SAN must be on the public network for replication to succeed, AND to take advantage of the connectivity of 10 GB and sharing NFS mount of the FS7610 through 10 Gbit, we need to use network cards 10 Gbit and switches in the network of the client NAS, that are already used for iSCSI traffic (and will in the future be used for connections to SAN vmware hypervisor).  In the FS7610 install and set up the guide, it says

  • Use the switches for network client and for the internal network and the SAN.
  • Use separate subnets for network client and for the internal network and the SAN.

  We can move the SAN and it is a dedicated subnet network and VLAN that is on the public network without problem, but my main concern is to be able to satisfy the recommendations/network configurations required for the FS7610 and avoid the local SAN/NAS traffic through a router to ensure connections of 10 GB.  Advice or tips are appreciated!

  It is the same thing that you are dealing with Linux, but TCP/IP standard routing.   You cannot route private subnets directly on the internet.  We need to create a "Wan".   Do not directly routed on the internet.

  Your WAN will create a private network and a tunnel over the Internet.   OpenVPN is a possible solution.

  A very widespread scenario might be:

  Once you have put WAN in place, on the internet of these routers would be a true internet address (e.g., 62.x.x.x.x) so the two WAN devices can communicate with each other.   They create a VPN tunnel with a new subnet, say 10.3.0.x.

  The WAN router primary side would have a leg on the subnet 10.1.0.x, say with 10.1.0.10 IP address as your default route on the side of EQL SAN 10.1.0.10.

  On the side of the DR this router would have a leg on the 10.2.0.x subnet, say 10.2.0.10.  The default GW on the side DR would be 10.2.0.10.   The router knows how to move packets between networks using the standard range.

  Looks like all you're missing is the "WAN" VPN tunnel between sites.  You want something that will encrypt traffic between the sites anyway.

  Who help me?

• Reference Dell EqualLogic 6010 initial configuration

  Hello. I have a dust collection Dell EqualLogic 6010 in my test harness. He was sent by another office, for reasons unknown. I would use this feature to unload a few backup copies of vm in the development of our san to this device of 16 smaller disk.  I only have one switch that comes with it, but for its intended use, this should be good. I only will link a physical server to it where my backup software. (I wish I could just direct connect, but I read that it is not possible, or at least not recommended) The problem is... I don't know where to start.

  I tried to put in place of guides, manuals and Setup guides, but the single pdf I find is more on limits, best practices, what he can do, etc., rather than from step 1. (like, indications which include the implementation of rails and all that usually skip us... lol) Can anyone help with a quick course guide or accident? Maybe point me in the direction of certain documents?

  For example... series in I do? If so, what are the default creds? There may be a default ip address that I can connect my laptop in to start the initial game up? Or y at - it a config that I can run on the same subnet as EMC VNX implemented who will find unconfigured devices? I really can't find any of this set up information of this device. I hope someone can help.

  Thank you very much. :)

• Add the new Equallogic system

  Hello

  We use 2 PS4000 systems in a group.  Now, we wanted to add additional capacity to the group, and it seems that we must add a PS6100 model, because the PS4xxx series can have 2 systems per group.

  What is the best way to develop our Equallogic system? PS4xxx systems can be added to a group of PS6100 lossless or start over?  Or does first to transfer all data in the system of PS6100 and reset and add the PS4xxx later?

  good documentation on this subject?

  Thanks in advance

  Tom

  Yes, you can add the additional PS6100, which will remove the limits of PS4000 configuration.

  You can add it as its own swimming pool and then move the volumes on the new Member, or put it in the same pool as the PS4000.

  First pass of the PS4000 at least 5.2.5 before adding in the PS6100.   Then proceed to PS6100 to make.  I think he's not coming with 5.2.5 installed.

  If you let me know what is the size / speed / RAID type of the PS4000 and what size/TPM in the PS6100 I can offer you some general tips.

• Apple Watch series 2 measure gain altitude or altitude?

  Hello

  I'm confused, the 2 series watch is not supposed to have a barometer, but today after I watched a training session (open air cycle) in the activity of application on my iPhone I saw 'elevation' win (622 m) and it was there (compared to a parallel measure with a Garmin 920XT). I registered the workout on the watch, but had my iPhone (6s) in my pocket. So the series 2 Watch measures altitude/elevation or he draws the data from my iPhone... I'll experiment more, without taking my iPhone along next time.

  During this time, is that what someone did similar comments?

  And of course, I would be grateful for any help on how to export training sessions (write to GPX etc.).

  Thanks and best wishes

  I had the same problem. As far as I can see, case or bumper for the AW 2 series do not exist. I talked to Spigen, catalyst and a couple of others and any sites third 3rd say... manufacturers confirm that their AW products are NOT compatible with series 2 Watch, and that they are working on it!

  All thoughts of good screen protectors? !! They would be compatible? Some protection is better than nothing!

  Let me know if you hear anything!

  Thank you
