• The listener is down: even if a listener with the name "AUDITOR", is running on this host at the port: "1521", it has not started using "the target LISTENER. ORA file.

  
  I moved a listener on a host in a House different oracle. The headset works fine, but EM 12 c shows that the listener is down with the following summary:

  The listener is down: even if a listener with the name "AUDITOR", is running on this host at the port: "1521", it has not started using "the target LISTENER. ORA file. CORRECTIVE ACTION: To monitor this "EM listener target" with its current configuration, you must stop the process of listening running and start it using the Listener parameter file: opt/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/network/admin/listener.ora. Alternatively, you can update "this target LISTENER. Location ORA setting"with the location of the listener running, which started using the: opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/network/admin/listener.ora.

  EM 11 g, I simply changed the configuration of the listener for the different oracle home, argued the change and in a few minutes the listener would show that 'UP' with the oracle of new home. I upgraded to MS 12 c (12.1.0.4) and can't find how to do this. Can someone give me the procedure.

  Thank you

  Hi Ron,

  Can you please do the following?

  -Create a for the listener listener.ora file, stop and start the receiver using the listener.ora file. If the file is located in a default location, set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to that location before you start the listener.

  -Log on to the EM console, go to the homepage of the listener.

  -In the Oracle Listener menu, select target Configuration > Configuration of the analysis.

  -Ensure that the parameters, including the Listener.ora directory, are properly.

  Kind regards

• can I vmotion between different host bus adapters

  Hello

  Just a quick question.

  I have 2 ESX servers.

  an ESX has a Qlogic and the other HBA, Emulex.

  can I make a storage between these servers ESX vmotion?

  Thank you.

  Don't forget virtualization virtualizes the physical storage - so as long as the HBAs connect to storage even as others have said there should be no vMotioning quick question.

• Impact of the loss of connection to all host bus adapters

  I was just wondering more of your virtual machines, freezing, there is risk of hard and corruption OS if all iSCSI HBA connections are lost? Reason being, I need to convince anyone here that we should not have our two iSCSI HBAs, going to a single as a single point of failure switch.

  Essentially, it would have the same effect as having a reader "disappear" in the physical world. You might meet guest OS corruption, corruption of data, or other bad things, like virtual machines will be essentially have crashed.

• Question about Clusters and host bus adapters

  I have worked with ESX in a non-clustered environment, but I'm looking to experiment with clusters.

  If I have two host servers in a Vmware HA cluster (using VC 2.5)

  And I have these two server hooked up to an FC SAN, each with a FC HBA.

  Now, I create two virtual computers that will be part of a Windows / SQL cluster, do I need a second set of FC HBAS in each server?

  Now if I add a second series of cluster of virtual machines, this time window / cluster exchange, I have to add yet another set of HBAs?

  I understand that if I had a physical server, I need an HBA in each... but unsuire how sharing equipment works in vmware. It's the virtual FC HBA for ESX?

  Thank you!

  bilbus wrote:

  OK thanks, so as to be clear...

  so, if I have one HBA for each ESX cluster server (assoming I don't need double tracks) that's all I need?

  OK - all you need is 1 HBA per server.

  Once the server has a FC HBA (even if it is used for the ESX cluster server it self) I now have access to a virtual FC HBA on the set of my virtual machines?

  No, this is not how ESX.  Each VM has a virtual card SCSI attached to a VMDK on your data store, which is accessed throught he FC HBA above.

  Is there a rule on how many servers can share an HBA (another bandwidth then)?

  There may be, but its mainly led by IOPS / s and bandwidth.

• Problem with XServe and XServe RAID via Fibre Channel

  Hello everyone,

  I have a problem with my blended Xserve RAID.

  I see in RAID-Admin and configure it successfully (via Ethernet). Connect with our Xserve via Fibre Channel, but the XServe and XServe RAID do not detect each other.

  The fiber on the Xserve channel LEDs are white on the Xserve RAID completely off and permanent.

  RAID-Admin status of Fibre Channel: 'No connection (1 table)' with a red square.

  If I try to open the utility of fiber channel I get the message: "card Fibre Channel is not found." Utility disk OS X can't, too.

  I changed the card connector cable, and made several reboots. But each time the same thing: they do not detect each other.

  Xserve (2009):

  -2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500

  -Map of Apple dual-channel 4 Gb Fibre Channel (LSI7204EP)

  XServe RAID:

  -RAID 5 in an array (only on the left with 5 x 500 GB)

  -1.5.1 Firmware

  -Cable Apple 4 Gb SFP - SFP

  Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English!

  Hi Mpm-Mainz,

  Check if you have enabled LUN masking. To be able to see, you will need to download raid admin 1.5 not the 1.5.1

  Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5

  Have you also tried to use the other controller? Even if there is no disc in there, then it should appear in the preferences of fiber card system.

  Thank you

• Fibre Channel card configuration on the host esx 5.1

  Hi all,

  I have three 5.1 esxi hosts.  I have new port 2 8G Fibre Channel cards installed in each and pass the cable FC since the card port goes to the fiber.

  It's my first time in collaboration with CF cards VMware hosts, what else should I do for these cards to be active or updated network in?  A good explanation, Docs and or video would be extremely welcomed.

  Just ask EMC technology to make the zoning on the SAN switch and the LUN masking and card introduced volumes to your hosts on the side storage... after the volumes, simply go to your ESXi, rescan your HBA and create data warehouses.

• vCenter 5.5 cluster using Fibre Channel & MSCS (Win 2003)

  Hi all

  I need to create a Cluster of 2003 of Windows (MSCS) as well as storage Fibre Channel shared on vCenter Server 5.5.  I need to work so that if a server crashes, the second server goes into action and support.

  I have a two-node Windows 2003 R2 64 bit running on the same host.  Virtual machines are created with an operating system installed.  I use for Fibre Channel storage and I have created and attached 6 discs in thick eager set to zero.  I also created and configured two NICs (Public and private) on each node.  The shared SCSI Bus is set to "Virtual" on both nodes.  I managed to get the two nodes to market and both can see the 6 disks.  The disk configuration is identical between nodes.  All drive letters to even the SCSI virtual peripheral nodes (1:X).

  I have not yet created the Windows cluster.  The problem is that, in node 1 when I create a folder in one of the attached disks, I don't see this folder in the same drive in node 2.  Is it a problem, a bad configuration or is this a normal behavior?

  Are there any other setup that I should consider to make this work?

  It's the doc that I follow:

  https://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-55/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-55-Setup-MSCS.PDF

  Thanks much for any help!

  Since you not yet configured the cluster, this is normal behavior. Go ahead and configure the cluster, then the software cluster will manage the discs... do what you try can cause data corruption.

  And after the configuration of the cluster, take in mind that the drive will be online to a single node by time, as the Microsoft cluster is an active/passive cluster, in this way you will be able to see the disc and online with the letter assigned only on the active node.

• Implementation of storage fibre channel (ESXi 4.1) with jumbo frames

  I'm looking for 'official' instructions for the activation of the jumbo on a host ESXi 4.1 with storage fibre channel frames. I don't know if the instructions are different, or if anything else needs to be adjusted according to your storage space.

  I looked at the instructions from this page here and it seems simple enough. It also seems that you can keep your groups of existing ports rather than having to delete and then recreate. If these good enough instructions apply it for the side host?

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1003712 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 322680138 & StateID = 1% 200% 20322684038

  I saw this page for iSCSI storage so that made me think if the procedure differs according to the storage.

  What is the reason for having to recreate them?

  If you are in 4.1 that you don't need to recreate anything, just activate via the CLI.

  And you can enable frames on a standard port group or is it just for VMkernel port groups?

  You can turn on the VM and vmkernel exchanges. Together you must also make the "virtual cards", i.e.: on the Vmkernel virtual network cards and cards of virtual network in the guest operating systems. On the Windows 2003 server, I think you have to use VMXNET3, but on Windows 2008 the e1000 should support frames too.

  As has been noted before just make sure that any layer two devices in the path is configured to allow the large frames. You can use this to confirm both Vmkernel and invited: http://rickardnobel.se/archives/992

• 4.1 and vCenter ESX only allows to use 1 Fibre Channel LUNS

  Hello

  I have 8 blades ESX 4.1 (build 348481) in a Cisco UCS 5108 chassis. Each blade has 2 x HBAs available. I also have a fiber channel storage array that is configured to provide 2 1.8 to LUN (for now and in the future).

  When I go in vCenter and select one of the ESX servers under "Configuration"-> "Storage adapters"-> "Rescan all...» "each server detects the table (and several paths towards it) but only shows a single available LUNS (LUN 0) when 2 LUNS should be available (LUNS 0 and 1 logical unit number). See the image below.

  

  Now, the thing that confuses me is that when I get on the command-line of the ESX via SSH server and run "esxcfg-mpath - b", I see a list of all the paths including the paths to the LUNS 0 and 1 logical unit number (see output below). Any ideas on why ESX and vCenter authorizes me to LUN 1?

  Its because the table shows two LUNS have the same value of ID of Page 83, ESX both think you have 2 paths to the same LUN.  Paths multiple ESX driver uses the value of the ID of Page 83 to determine if 2 LUNS are the same device.

  It was a problem with that code, that it resembles yours-based Solaris beginning according to the tables and other tables that used code based on Solaris pre-COMSTAR, as well as tables that use SCWIST.

  There is really nothing you can do about it, because it is a bug in the software of the array (it shouldn't be exporting 2 LUNS different with the same ID value of Page 83 - it is a violation of the standard).

• Can I disable the B200 blade Fibre Channel vHBA

  Hello

  I'm setting up my service to my B200 blades profiles and I was wondering if there was a way to disable the Fibre Channel HBA. I will not use CF as all my iSCSI storage.

  Thank you

  LTA

  When you create a service profile, you are asked if you want the storage (= CF) or not; you say no!

  If you missed this step and you have created vhba, just remove them later.

  It is not possible to disable vhna.
