Help! Configuring multipath storage ESX3.5

At the end of SAN, the configuration is:

I use fixed to the management policy multichannel but way preferred as you can see. I wonder if it's a problem because my SAN controller event logs Gets the following logs all the time:

"The event 4207001b; Indicates the virtual disk is passed to the property of the other controller HSV200.

0310001f; A virtual disk in the storage system has changed master controller. »

Your contribution is welcome. How to manage and distribute the workload between different virtual machines? We have heavy files, Exchange server and SQL server servers.

Starting to make sense now, as I've never seen these errors in my controllers 3 months I was running on my san EVA, but I looked in the newspaper a few weeks after I upgraded my HP Agents (who at the same time, I restarted the ESX servers) and I noticed the errors.

Thanks for the link!

See you soon,.

It is that I'm unable to confirm Intel Rapid Storage is configured to use the mSata SSD as cache drive, and I do not think that it IS configured based on see Win8 Disk Mgmt through that entire SSD (showing about 15 GB) is not allocated and is not be used by anything. Attempts to implement using link below do not work that there is no 'Accelerate' button in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility, as shown in the graphic in this post. I even installed the chipset driver before the util Rapid Storage according to the readme instructions I found out of the Intel site.

    http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/the-Guide-on-how-to-reformat-REPARTITION-an...

    To answer this forward - there no option in my BIOS RAID, as seems to be the solution for other IdeaPad models.

    Call the #1 to Lenovo Support - Tech first asked me to set up RAID and after having informed him there was no BIOS RAID option, he informed me of the installation of the equipment for caching SSD drive was fully automatic and needed no software. I found this suspicious and later decided to call again to ask for the check disk cache is enabled...

    Call #2 to Lenovo Support - after a period of 90 min or so call and another suggestion to set up RAID, even if there is no other choice, the technology has suggested that "the only way to get the configured disk cache is to return the laptop to the warehouse for them charge the appropriate partitions.» I asked if he has ever heard about any other machine ever which were to be sent to the factory to get a piece of hardware working in the event of corruption of data/partition say hard drive, or if someone wanted to upgrade their hard drive. He said: "no, Sir, but it seems that you have more experience than me, so I'm not sure what we can do besides have return you.»

    Am I the only one that sounds ridiculous? I have worked on 100 computers and never once had to send a back machine to load the drivers/utils to make a component work - they always had drivers available. And it is a plain jane Windows 8 install, nothing special about it.

    I am reaching my wits end, I lost a ton of time with refills and OS configurations. I give up on the mSata drive all together? I have a time difficult swalling that I MUST have Win8 Lenovo OEM load in order to be able to use all of my material.

    Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

    I think that I figured this out finally. Here's what I did:
    1 put flat as well the 1 TB drive and the 16 GB SSD, no flying over partitions, all unallocated space.
    2A took the mSata SSD out of the machine before I tried Win8 installed, (leaving it in there, the windows carve 350 MB partition on the SSD drive for a reason even if I chose the 1 TB drive to settle).
    3. install Win8 (I have the Technet version).
    4. updated all drivers Lenovo Web site except the Intel RST util, and I hooked version of NVIDIA driver for my video GeForce GT 650 M.
    5. do you have all Windows updates.
    6 clogged mSata SSD back in.
    7. download and install the 64-bit version of memory Cache Express (64-bit) that I found here:

    Cache Express downloads

    8. rebooted as guest

    When I came back to the top, I saw my SSD had a partition created and I can only ASSUME since I didn't see any Cache Express installation error and he ruled out a partition on the SSD drive to work. Don't know how I can check it really worked, but it's wayyyyyy closer I got after working on it for a week. I SiSoftware Sandra and I ran a disk performance report before the installation of the Express Cache, so I want to try to run another report and compare.

  • help configuration dataRecovery

    Hi, Im trying to start with vdr and Im having trouble the storage configuration, I want to add as a backup data store.

    Vdr Administrator's guide States that the vdr unit can accept 2 1 TB data warehouses.  Yet, when I try to add a drive on the virtual machine, that is the maximum of 256 GB!  Does this mean that I have to add 8 discs to use both LUN 1 TB I would use?

    I also tried adding a 256 GB drive for the virtual machine, and when I go through the wizard and try to set up a job, he said that it was disassembled. !

    I'm totally confused.

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Hi, the problem is in the configuration of the data store.

    When you format the data store, you select the size of block (that number to determine the maximum size of a virtual disk)

    The default value is 1 M, and the maximum virtual disk supported is 256G.

    If you can, remove the data store and the format with 4 M, and the maximum virtual disk will be 1 t (when you remove the data store all the info in this store of data will be lost).

    Whe you set the drive to the virtual computer, go to configuration in the admin of datarecovery vmware (solutions and applications in virtualcenter House), select destinations and format the new lun.

    If use you iCloud library then you have a single library that is shared between multiple devices and modifications (additions, edition or deletion) on any device are made on all devices - if this isn't what you want then do not use ICPL - it's easy

    If you turn on optimize pictures on any device with storage limited as space is needed more small and smaller version will be used locally — reports are about 10% of the original

    There is no option to iCLoud for storing pictures he only

    You can use a disk external hard locally for storage is your storage space main is not 9 suitable for Photos, it should be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and connected locally with a fast connection required

  • Need help configuration IOS IPsec to enable communication between the VPN client

    Hi, I need help with the configuration of IPsec VPN router 2811. I want to allow communication between VPN clients, is that possible? I know that ASA, you can do this by using the command "permit same-security-traffic intra-interface".

    The fact is that each Client IP communicator installed, but when they tried to call each other, he failed. I guess that's because the connectivity between them is not permitted because of the VPN connection.

    Assuming that the NAT of your router is

    overload of IP nat inside source list 111 interface FastEthernet1/0

    ! - The access list is used to specify which traffic

  • Help configuration VPN 5505

    I am new to the use of Cisco devices and I need a little help with some configurations on an ASA5505 with 8.4.

    I want to connect 2 ASA5505 with a site-to-site.

    Site 1

    is where I want to connect to.  Site 1 we have access to 192.168.40.x and 192.168.42.x networks.  This ip is: 192.168.40.254

    Site 2

    I want to connect to site 1 and see the 40.x and 42.x networks.  I am able to connect to the network 40.x and can see devices on it, but I can't go to the 42.x network.  This ip device is: 192.168.50.1

    The sites are not in the same place, just in case someone asks about it.

    Hello

    Seems to me that you do not have good rules configured on Site1 and Site2 ASA on the VPN

    You must add the following configurations

    Site1

    access extensive list ip 192.168.42.0 inside_nat0_outbound allow 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0

    access extensive list ip 192.168.42.0 outside_cryptomap allow 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.0

    -It would add both traffic between networks for VPN configurations and unnated traffic through to the remote end

    Site2

    outside_cryptomap to access extended list ip 192.168.50.0 allow 255.255.255.0 192.168.42.0 255.255.255.0

    This would add the traffic between networks for VPN configurations

    Seems that you already have the NAT0 configurations in place for networks, but not above the line for the VPN itself.
