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?

Kind regards

  • Helps the blade networking

    Hi all

    I currently have a Dell M1000e blade enclosure with some M710 blades with 6nics.  The switches on the back of the blade are stacked 4xM6220 switches.  After you have configured everything that I wanted to test the failover so I have disabled the internal NETWORK card ports that map to the NETWORK adapters on the blades, however when I did this VMware still saw the NPI as online when well even I loose connection to my service console if I disabled this particular port/NIC I changed the status of the link to beacon probe but this has had little effect.  Anyone know why Vmware would see the nic as online even if the port is disabled on the internal switch to which the NIC is connected/mapped to?

  • helps the network planning

    Hi all

    I'm new to Vmware and I'm still in the process of documentation, but I'm trying to accomplish a vmware infrastructure network.

    I have the following equipment:

    Dell Equallogic PS6000XV reference - SAN - 4 network cards

    2 x Powerconnect 6224 24 GBE, managed switch ports

    1 x PowerEdge 1950 1U Quad Core Xeon with 4 GB of RAM - Vcenter

    3 x 2U PowerEdge 2950 2 x Xeon Quad Core with 64 GB of RAM - 2 x quad NIC - + 2 for ESX

    VMware Enterprise Edition (acceleration of medium kit)

    On this basis, I intend to use 3 VLAN on the physical switches, as follows:

    pSwitch - vlan goal - vSwitch

    VLAN 1 - production network (SMV) - vSwitch0

    VLAN 2 - iSCSI and vMotion traffic - vSwitch1

    VLAN 3 - vCenter and ESX management - vSwitch2

    In the idea of having a redundant network, both switches will rising fiber optic, and I decided using the following distribution of NIC

    SAN - will have 2 NICs connected to each switch

    ESX - 2 NIC - vlan3 - SC and embedded network management

    -2 network - vlan2 - iSCSI and vMotion network cards

    -2 network - vlan1 - production network (VMs) cards (I know I can use more than 2 cards network here)

    Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong.

    Also, I guess the vCenter system must have 2 network cards, vlan3 connected to one, to manage the ESX host and another, connected to the vlan1, in the production network, having a public IP address where I can connect remotely. Is this good?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    As suggested earlier, it is better to make a DMZ back to back to place your guests & vCenter behind him, after that you can activate TCP 3389 RDP of your production to vCenter server that is behind the firewall.

    I did the same excactly of installation:

    • 4 guests, double each with 20 GB of ram, 6 natachasery, 2 GHz Dual-Process 3.0 & unique FC HBA Ports.

      • 2 natachasery for SC, vMotion & vCenter

      • 2 natachasery for Production

      • 2 natachasery of DMZ

    • I created a VLAN Trunk on my Clustred pSwitches and devote vmnic0 & vmnic1-> vSwitch0 and I activated the physical labelling on the ports.

      • vmnic0 connected to pSwitch1 & vmnic1 connected to pSwitch2

      • on vSwitch0, I created 3 exchanges

        • Service Conole

        • vMotion

        • vCenter

    • After connecting guests to the SAN, I created 2 VMs, 1 for vCenter and 1 as a MS ISA Firewall, both mapped to vCenter exchanges

      • I assigned vNIC MS ISA Firewall 2, 1 of vCenter and a Production PortGroup, so I can get proper routing and Natting to join two networks via required limited ports controlled by MS ISA Firewall, now assuming that you know how to set up a back to back firewall

      • I welcomed only RDP to vCenter Server ESX network production.

    • To get rid of DNS and other issue of stuff, I configured the server vCenter Server as a DNS server for all of the network which is at the origin of the production. So the ESX host can get name resolution.

    This Setup works perfectly without any problems, but I think I would suggest, is not to use the virtual Firewall why? because you will need to open another port for your server to backup if it is put in your production network, NTP server, ect ect. As soon as the load on your network of ESX, you will see the virtual firewall eats a lot of CPU and memory resources. That's why I intend to change this firewall with a Firewall physical, to acquire the resources for something else.

    Do not build your Setup program and subsequently change your archticture network, once you change your configuration, you will need to disconnect your hosts on the network that translates = towards the bottom of your VMS losing services.

  • Help with M6348 connecting to a Cisco network

    Hello

    Can someone help me with best practices by putting R710 via a M6348 stacked with a cisco network.

    Our configuration is the following

    M1000e

    2 x 1 GB pass-through fabric a

    2 x M6348 wired in a pile in the B fabric

    6 x popular R710 with four NIC ports in the fabric B (3 are general purpose servers, 3 are Hyper-V servers in a cluster)

    Cisco network

    For most of the Cisco 3560 switches

    20 VLAN (1 per building) configured, mainly for the isolation of traffic (VLAN 300-320)

    What (I think) that we want to

    The M6348 connect to the core network in a SHIFT (4 x 1 GB ports. Can it be divided 2 ports each of the stacked M6348?)

    Have a mapping of right for 1-3 to VLAN 301 R710

    Configure R710 4-6 for access to all VLANS for the Hyper-V hosts can be placed on the VLAN correct

    Use the fabric for the connection to the San

    Network management is carried out by a third party (we are unable to change this) and they claim that they are unable to connect Cisco/Dell!

    We are server guys, guys network no, so something stupid (especially for Cisco to give to our management company) would be appreciated.

    We tried to configure the switches in Simple mode, using a Dell deployment guide, but all we seem to get is the default VLAN to all ports on the switch 1 battery, but no other VLAN and no active port 2 in the stack.

    I've probably missed lost info on and were not very clear, so if more info is needed, please get back to me.

    Thanks in advance for the help

    Rich

    Thanks for the information updated, actually, this confirms that the problem is with the connection to the Cisco switch. Is that what we tried a general link, instead of trunk?

    mode console # switchport general

    Console # switchport General allowed vlan add 300-320 tag

    Console # pvid General switchport 301

    Console # end

    Are we sure that the VLAN 301 IP address is 10.49.56.0? This doesn't seem fair.

    When we try to pings on the trunk/General connection to the Cisco switch, make sure you that the servers have the default gateway defined on the VLAN IP address they are in access mode. Thus, when in the access mode VLAN 301 the gateway server would need to be 10.49.56.0. I would like to verify that the IP address, however.

  • The engine through series control

    Hello

    I'm working on a project that requires the operator to control the engine rpm and it is on and off a labview interface.  The engine is a Kollmorgen servomotor(AKM42E-ANDNC-00) that is connected to a controller of S20360-VTS of danaher. The controller is connects to the computer via the serial port.

    My question is if there is a way to control this motor through the connection in series of the computer.  I tried to communicate with is the use of channels but received only gibberish back. (I do really not understand communication channel).  The settings for the serial communication are correct (with the exception of flow control that I'm not sure).  Any help would be appreciated.  You will find info series beginning on page 57 of the manual of the controller.

    Thank you

    So, after having spent some time yesterday and today with Kollmorgen technology support.  I determined that t he car engine and cable series are actually owners and there is no way to interface with the engine outside of applications of Kollmorgen.  We tried to run commands and an engine test in Hyperterminal and Labview and the engine ended by locking for safety. Thanks for everyone entered btw, I learned a lot.

    Computer does not display the network icon in the system tray.  When you try to access everything which concerns internet, nothing works.  IE Page not found errors, etc.  When I go to control panel > network connections, my computer freezes and I have to close the Task Manager Control Panel to continue.   My computer will also freeze/hang up when I try to use another application that requires an internet connection.

    Not help not to restart normally.  The only way I could fix is by turning it off for a while, and turning back on later.  But even if it does not work 50% of the time.  Restarting over and over again does nothing; the computer still plays the same, no network icon / freezing when you access network resources.  Once he decides to however works, the computer has internet/network connectivity and no problems until what it is off again.
