How to compare premises, iSCSI and storage NFS for VMware ESXi 5 with IO Analyzer?

Hello

I have 2 hosts ESXi 5.0 with a few virtual machines running. I would compare the IO throughput for my local storage, iSCSI and NFS vmware storage store. Can someone point me to the right direction? I read the documents and tutorials, but I'm not sure how to compare tests from these 3 options.

I have a need to compare the following storage options.

Local disk on the ESX host

iSCSI on QNAP NAS device

iSCSI on EMC e 3100

NFS on QNAP NAS device

NFS on EMC e 3100

IOmeter seems to be good tool based on reading, but still not clear where to make changes to pass tests of storage to another.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

If you use IO monitor, then you must simply vmotion the VMS to the data store for the device you want to test, and then run the test (and Records results).  Can vmotion for the following data store and repeat.

  • Storage NFS for Exchange Server OS

    While I believe that Microsoft Support policy and recommendations for Exchange servers in hardware virtualization environments, document is very clear, I was faced with the following question:

    Microsoft does support the operating system Exchange server running on a NFS datastore?

    I believe that this issue is the result of the lack of understanding of the support strategy.  Here is the statement in question ("BOLD" emphasis is mine):

    The storage used by the Exchange Server guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or hub transport queues) can be virtual storage of a fixed size (for example, fixed virtual hard drives [VHD] in a Hyper-V environment), SCSI direct storage, or Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage. Pass through storage is storage that is configured at the host level and dedicated to one guest machine. All storage used by a computer invited exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage. Exchange 2010 is not compatible with network attached storage (NAS) volumes. NAS storage presented to the guest as block-level storage using the hypervisor is not supported. Transmission volumes must be presented as storage of block level for hardware virtualization software. This is because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network. The following virtual disk requirements apply to volumes that are used to store Exchange data.

    While I thought that the statement applied specifically to Exchange data, you can read this includes the OS data server as well (based on the second sentence in bold).  A customer was told by an engineer from MS that NAS storage was not at all based.  I disagree, because the recommended storage configuration is to separate the BONES of exchanging data anyway.

    Reference http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794548%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

    I'm all for pick up statements of support from MS and calling him on it, when the issue is raised in question and this one is no different.  I read the Data Exchange simply means that databases, newspapers, etc.  In fact they make it that some clearly in this statement:

    "The storage used by the Exchange guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or Hub transport queues)...". »

    There is no mention of the operating system being considered as Exchange data... which is not.  As for this one:

    "All storage used by a guest computer in Exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network."

    OK, this has been an attitude of long-standing support for MS, no biggie there since we have some that only qualified Data Exchange.  To the following:

    "In addition, NAS storage presented to the guest as block via the hypervisor level storage no is not supported."

    The key point here is that the NAS storage can be presented to a guest in two ways, one through the prompt (mounting storage NAS for Windows, that is, \\server\share) and another through the hypervisor (supported NFS VMDK).  In this statement, they are referring to the latter.  So, after all, this hike that my point is that it seems to me that the drive for your Exchange virtual computer operating system can absolutely be hosted on NAS-based storage and be supported.

    .. .then it's VMware spin on it, a little.  For Hub Transport, client access and stand-alone Mailbox servers, we have no problem with that.  We recommend, however, that if a clustering solution is deployed within the guest, i.e. DAG, you create the VMDK as eagerzeroedthick.  VMDK supported by NFS cannot be eagerzeroedthick, by our advice should not be hosted on NFS.  This little nugget of information is available here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1037959.  The reason behind this is when you use a disk virtual standard thickness blocks must be cancelled before the data is written, this (albeit low) latency is avoided by using the eagerzeroedthick option.  What we are proposing is avoid any additional latency that clusters tend to not like and zero all on.  BTW, we suggest this to any level of clustering, not just Exchange or MSCS comments.

  • How can I assign a Pool of IP for a particular VM with vSphere Hypervisor

    Hello

    people are eager to servers and I want to assign 2 IP addresses by VM they get. Although, I don't know how to do this.

    Thank you for your replies,

    Felix

    With the default of ESXi, there will be a network management and a network of the Virtual Machine. In this case, build you your virtual machines and put them on the default network created using the virtual machine property editor to choose the correct network for each virtual computer label. Then configure the IP addressing in each virtual machine, as you would with a physical machine.

  • How to compare the length of the data to a staging table with the definition of the base table

    Hello
    I have two tables: staging of the table and the base table.
    I get flatfiles data in the staging of the table, depending on the structure of the requirement of staging of the table and the base table (length of each column in the staging table is 25% more data dump without errors) are different for ex: If we have the city long varchar 40 column in table staging there 25 in the base table. Once data are discharged into the intermediate table that I want to compare the actual length of the data for each column in the staging table with the database table definition (data_length for each column of all_tab_columns) and if no column is different length that I need to update the corresponding line in the intermediate table which also has an indicator called err_length.

    so for that I use the cursor c1 is select length (a.id), length (b.SID) of staging_table;
    c2 (name varchar2) cursor is select data_length all_tab_columns where table_name = 'BASE_TABLE' and column_name = name;
    But we get atonce data in the first query while the second slider, I need to get for each column and then compare with the first?
    Can someone tell me how to get the desired results?

    Thank you
    Manoi.

    Hey, Marco.

    Of course, you can set src.err_length in the USING clause (where you can reference all_tab_columns) and use this value in the SET clause.
    It is:

    MERGE INTO  staging_table   dst
    USING  (
           WITH     got_lengths     AS
                     (
              SELECT  MAX (CASE WHEN column_name = 'ENAME' THEN data_length END)     AS ename_len
              ,     MAX (CASE WHEN column_name = 'JOB'   THEN data_length END)     AS job_len
              FROM     all_tab_columns
              WHERE     owner          = 'SCOTT'
              AND     table_name     = 'EMP'
              )
         SELECT     s.ename
         ,     s.job
         ,     CASE WHEN LENGTH (s.ename) > l.ename_len THEN 'ENAME ' END     ||
              CASE WHEN LENGTH (s.job)   > l.job_len   THEN 'JOB '   END     AS err_length
         FROM     staging_table     s
         JOIN     got_lengths     l     ON     LENGTH (s.ename)     > l.ename_len
                             OR     LENGTH (s.job)          > l.job_len
         )     src
    ON     (src.ename     = dst.ename)
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
         SET     dst.err_length     = src.err_length
    ;
    

    As you can see, you have to hardcode the names of the columns common to several places. I swam () to simplify that, but I found an interesting (at least for me) alternative grouping function involving the STRAGG user_defined.
    As you can see, only the subquery USING is changed.

    MERGE INTO  staging_table   dst
    USING  (
           SELECT       s.ename
           ,       s.job
           ,       STRAGG (l.column_name)     AS err_length
           FROM       staging_table          s
           JOIN       all_tab_columns     l
          ON       l.data_length  < LENGTH ( CASE  l.column_name
                                              WHEN  'ENAME'
                                    THEN      ename
                                    WHEN  'JOB'
                                    THEN      job
                                       END
                               )
           WHERE     l.owner      = 'SCOTT'
           AND      l.table_name     = 'EMP'
           AND      l.data_type     = 'VARCHAR2'
           GROUP BY      s.ename
           ,           s.job
           )     src
    ON     (src.ename     = dst.ename)
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
         SET     dst.err_length     = src.err_length
    ;
    

    Instead of the user-defined STRAGG (that you can copy from AskTom), you can also use the undocumented, or from Oracle 11.2, WM_CONCAT LISTAGG built-in function.

  • How to put a tension and a delay for a tenth of a second and then record current?

    I use KE 24xx Sweep and measure VI and I added a measure of writing to the file.  However, I would like to pause for a few moments after that he sets the tension before it saves the current.  I don't know how, where, or what to insert.  Any ideas?

    Well, whether or not correct you the data stream, it there's no way that a delay function will put a wait between the voltage and the measurement of current. You use a built-in scan function and the delay before the measure is part of the setting of the instrument and does not part of your LabVIEW code. If you want to use the scan function, read the manual to see if the instrument has a delay setting. If so, you can make an entry VISA and send the order. If it is not the case, you will have to give up the built-in scan function and create your own ramp (i.e. Ramp.vi) and make an individual writing of tension, the delay, the current read in a loop.

    I just got a new laptop which had Windows 8 above.  I want that all my email accounts to be dumped in the "Mail" box on my Office Windows 8.  How can I connect all?  I have gmail and two different hotmail accounts.

    Hi Carol,.

    You can easily add new email accounts in Mail by going to 'Settings'-> 'Accounts', while in the Mail application. You can get to the settings to either swipe to the right and by choosing the icon on the bottom of the settings of charms (looks like a gear) or by typing the Windows key and 'i' at the same time.

    Once you have opened the 'Accounts', choose the option at the bottom to add accounts.
