ESXi 5 storage connectivity problems

When I was setting up our infrastructure to vsphere 2 years ago I did everything according to the "best practices" (Netapp, VMWare and Cisco).

I had 2 4.0 hosts and I implemented the storage network (NFS and iSCSI) as an EtherChannel on one side of the switch Cisco and active NIC and IP HASH in a side ESXi load balancing.

Now, I just added 2 more than 5.0 hosts, reclassified vCenter to 5 and wanted to set up the new host for storage, but that is the problem.

Somehow ESXi5 let me use exactly the same configuration, I can't have 2 active adapters on both ESX and for this reason, I can't use hash IP in this vSwitch load balancing.

So, how am I suppose to add Stoarge to the new ESXi5?

EtherChannel is no supported network storage more on ESXi5?

If I have to stop using EtherChannel on the CISCO site that will break my conection of storage for the two production hosts ESXi 4.

Any input appreciated.

Thank you

Add maps via the iSCSI GUI software is ports VMKernel will link individual (and usually multiple) of a single software iSCSI initiator.  "It's the GUI version of ' esxcli swiscsi nic add n d .

To configure this for vSphere 5, VMkernel port NIC grouping settings must be configured as described in the error.

If you choose to not explicitly link VMkernel ports the software initiator, let the empty Network Configuration tab, and the VMkernel routing table automatically chooses an appropriate VMKernel port to connect.  According to your description, this is how your environment vSphere 4 is set up.

  • iSCSI (ESXi) loss of storage connectivity

    I have attached a screenshot where you can see how the two servers are configured.

    The names there are exactly the same (part iqn.*). Is this right?

    No - each port iSCSI (initiator and target) must have a name unique iSCSI. Looks like you have confused the name of the initiator (that is usually automatically generated by ESXi) and target name. The name target iSCSI needs to be registered on the page 'Static discovery' (or even does not need to manually enter at all, if you specify the address IP target on the "Dynamic discovery" page, and the target supports the request send targets).

    Now, you need make the name of the single initiator once again (and different from the name used by the target itself).

  • With device log Insight network connectivity problem

    We manage the virtual appliance 1.0 - beta and I noticed that the virtual appliance will fall the network periodically for a short period. I had constant pings, it will and it will just stop respond for anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. You can also see in the capture where the data is missing in the user interface of screen attached. I know that we are not the problems with our ESXi hosts or dvSwitch because there are many other virtual machines running on the same host ESXi and same VLAN and they are not network connectivity problems. Does anyone else know this?

    Sounds like a network problem. Perhaps you have a dual IP / MAC address on the network? Do you perhaps have a routing problem on the network log Insight's sitting on that?

    Can you generate a bundle of support and download the instructions here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/100852 (no need to SR just create a file called mvanbeck)

  • Network host connectivity problem

    Hi all
    I have a bit of a strange an ESXi 5 U1 host connectivity problem. The host has a network card in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, and from there it can ping both devices but cannot ping to two other devices. To explain a little better:
    There are two hosts with identical hardware (HP ProLiant DL380 G6) both built with the same picture of ESXi 5 U1 from HP.
    There is an IP address on the switch (Cisco 3750 gigabit) management.
    There are two servers running Openfiler, which I'll use for ISCSI data banks.
    All these devices are in the same VLAN in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet. host 1 is identical to the 2 host configuration (bar IP address and host name, etc.). Host can ping all devices on the subnet 1 and maybe ping by all devices on the seubnet. 2, the one with the issue of the host can ping and ping the Cisco FoxyCode and host 1, but cannot ping or ping by one of the two boxes openfiler.
    Research on the openfiler boxes I see missing entries in the arp (marked as incomplete) table. Host 2 he entered complete arp for the openfiler boxes. A trace of the wireshark package shows the openfilers sending arp requests but no response from host 2. The Cisco and host 1 to get the answers.
    I have patched the critical fixes host 2 until the last critical and no, applied the latest versions of firmware HP etc. Swapped, cables, tried different switch ports and even different NICs on host 2, all to nothing does not. The Cisco ports configured all identically from host 1. The openfiler boxes are set up with interfaces servile and the Cisco switch ports are etherchannelled for these. There is no etherchannel or link aggregation etc for guests, straight connection to the front in the VLAN.
    Interestingly, all devices also has an interface in the 192.168.2.0/sous-reseau 24 for management and all devices can see all other devices here absolutely fine.
    If anyone has any ideas on where to go from here please let me know, I'm going crazy trying to understand this one!

    I wonder if the Etherchannels in Openfiler servers might not work. Depending on how the switch load balances executives, this could cause a host to work and the other is not.

  • AppStore connection problem!

    Hello

    I'm running a 21.5 "iMac with OS X El Captan 10.11.5. My problem is that I am not able to connect to iCloud and the App Store on my Mac.

    The error I get is "there was an error connecting to server Apple ID"

    The same username and password works perfectly well on the site of iCloud, my app store on the iPhone and the iPad, but not on Mac.

    What is the way my iMac communicates via the internet? We have a firewall. And oh, the software update for El Capitan is downloading as I type; He didn't even ask for IDs, just started downloading automatically. The same thing happened yesterday with the updates listed on the tab Update on the app store - they have been is downloaded yesterday without asking my login details but it was a rare event; connection problems I described above took place during the last month or so.

    How can I fix?

    Thank you!!

    Hello!

    I'm having a connectivity problem I have never met before. I use a wireless router from Apple with internet cable.

    Yesterday, my computer would be is no longer in contact with my router wi - fi. I get a message that the network could not be attached (I ran the Diagnostics wireless, but it's a whole lot of sense to me empty files). However, I also have a Roku, and which IS connected to the WiFi without problem. I completely stopped and restarted the computer, no joy. Reset the modem and the router, no joy. Still works with Roku, not with the computer. But the weird part is, I have Optimum Online, which allows subscribers to log-in to its hotspots, and it worked! I am connected Optimum wi - fi network on my computer right now.

    So I don't know where is the problem! It is not the router, because this is related work with Roku and is not the computer, because it is connected and working with the Optimum hotspot. What gives?

    Try this!

    Go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > network

    Select a Wi - Fi connection in the sidebar and then click on the button "Advanced...". "in the lower right corner of the screen

    In the list of preferred networks, delete the name of your Wi - Fi network

    Click on the "OK" button to save that change and then 'apply' in the network preferences window.

    Now, go to the Applications folder > utilities > Keychain Access

    Make sure that "Login" keychain is selected and "All items" in the category is selected in the sidebar

    Use the search field to find items that Keychain with the name of your Wi - Fi network and remove

    Quit Keychain Access

    Now try and access your Wi - Fi network

  • Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

    Hello

    I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

    Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

    This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

    After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

    Hey @Roberto_ITALY,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    I understand that you are unable to claim your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw in your account ePrint Center due to a connection problem.  I would like to help.

    I don't see this particular error with password resets from time to time.  I have a workaround that can clear up this place for you:

    • Click here.  This will bring you to <www.snapfish.com >.  As the Snapfish site is linked directly with ePrint Center and HP connected, you can try to reset your password as follows - click the connection icon and then "forgot your password":

    • Enter the e-mail address that you use to connect to the ePrint Center and click on submit.
    • You should receive a message of automatic reset of password by email - the reset as expected before and then try to use this new password to Snapfish to connect downtown ePrint.
    • If this does not solve your problem of access ePrint Center, please call our Cloud Services to 855-785-2777. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

      http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html

    I hope this helps.  If my suggestion worked in your favor, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below.
