How to configure das MD3200i load balancing

I would like to connect a MD3200i (with two raid controllers) to one of our Windows 2003 R2 servers without the aid of a switch.

After most of the documentation, some things remain pretty obscure to me. I'm new to MPIO/balancing and cannot figure how to set up.

Is it possible to connect 1 nic host to RAID 0 and another host nic to RAID 1 and then combine the bandwidth? Thus having 2Gbs instead of 1Gbs? Or is it only a redundant path sollution, happening the other controller in case of failure of the first line. How can I configure this regarding the IP addresses, subnets. And where is the configuered to load balancing. This is explained in the documentation? I can't find it. I found a few examples that include the use of a switch, but none with das sollutions.

What I have is 4 the MD3200i UTP cables to connect to the host. 2 the high raid controller and 2 on the lower raid controller. And use that I have 4x1Gbs, resulting a connection 4Gbs to a single partition on the MD3200i of load balancing.

Thanks for any help.

Multiple paths and in windows 2003 load balancing is managed by the driver MPIO is installed when you install the 'host' or 'full' version install MD Storage Manager. There is no need to separately aggregated network adapters to get the aggregate bandwidth. The pilot, by default, uses repetition alternated on all ports connected to a single controller.

Also, for a single virtual disk, all i/o through a single controller and the second controller acts as a redundant path. So, if you have 2 x 1 Gbps connections to each controller, you will have, at most, 2 Gbps for each partition. Now, each controller can have virtual disks, so the second controller may have a second partition that will also have a separate between 2 x 1 Gbps connection.

You can set IP addresses and subnets that are similar to the way that you would with a switch as long as you can test the connection port. It would be wise for each NETWORK card on the host on a different subnet and each port on the MD3200i on the corresponding subnet. This will make it easier when you set up your iSCSI.

You can use the configuration utility to MD in place your iSCSI sessions too

  • Can someone tell me what the recommendation of Oracle is on how to best configure the load balancer?

    We are currently using the "configuration.properties" file to identify load balancing our servers, but we are curious to see if it is the recommended method to configure load balancing, or if there is a better way.

    I opened a case with Oracle support and asked the same questions - entry configuration.properties of the file servers is the only supported method used by Peoplesoft to balancing upward through 8.54.

  • Network Load Balancing

    Hello

    I have some difficulty of implementation, network load balancing in VMware - I'm not sure what mode of load balancing that I use.

    I have an ESXi 5.5 - host connected to a HP Procurve switch I have configured for 2 VLANS (40,41).

    On the switch, I created 2 trunks (Trk10, Trk20) I scored on two VLANs:

    trunk Trk10 trunk 23,47

    24,48 trunk Trk20 trunk

    VLAN 40

    name of "trial".

    untagged 1-22

    Tagged 50, Trk10, Trk20

    no ip address

    output

    VLAN 41

    name "PLC".

    tagless 25-46

    Tagged Trk10, Trk20

    no ip address

    output

    Port 23 and 47 will ESXi-host1 and port 24.48 will ESXi-host2.

    40 of VLAN is to have the network 192.168.40.0/24.

    41 of VLAN is to have the network 192.168.41.0/24.

    I created a virtual switch that has 2 NICs in it, but how do I set the load balancing mode?

    The virtual machine is slow on the internet right now, and I suspect the packets going to the VLAN evil.

    (Time of balancing mode is set to 'Route based on the original virtual port code').

    Kind regards

    Soren

    Let me know if you need more information.

    Could you do a 'show interface memory' and 'show interface' on the HP switch and paste it here?

    I would remove the trunks as I don't see why this is necessary in your configuration...

    Make sure the road based on virtual port ID what origin is selected on vSwitch1 and both exchanges configured (PLC and trial).

    Remove the trunks on the HP switch and tag/UNTAG required VLANS on individual ports that were previously used in these trunks...

    Quick config necessary for HP...

  • ASA Vpn load balancing and failover

    Hi all.

    We have two asa5520 configured as main unit and emergency in failover configuration, and everything works fine.

    Is it possible with this configuration (switch), configure the vpn load balancing/grouping?

    Thank you

    Daniele

    Hi Daniele,

    You cannot run two of them on two firewalls ASA, VPN feature load balancing or failover functionality.

    Where you need to use the two feature, you must use more than three ASA firewall, two first ASAs will work as the failover and the ASA third will work as cluster VPN for them, the following example uses four firewalls:

    ASA1 (active FO) - ASA2 (TF Standby)

    (VPN virtual master)

  • vShield Edge 5.1.2 load balancing HTTPS health check possible?

    Hello

    We expect configure edge gateway Load Balancing Service using vCloud Director 5.1.2 and vCloud network and security 5.1.2

    Is it possible to configure health checking with HTTPS and configure the URI to use for the control?

    Best regards

    jmarschall

    Hello

    You have 3 options to check on the edge of health:

    1 TCP: checking the simple TCP connection

    2 HTTP: sends HTTP GET using either the default value {/}, which is accessible by default on almost any server, but may be changed to any other URI.

    3 HTTPS: sends hello SSLv3 client messages and check the server Hello coming from the virtual machine. No URI is included.

    If you CAN do health checks for HTTPS, but NOT for any custom URI. Instead, it checks for valid SSL beyond the normal TCP communications.

    Dennis,

    Automatic synchronization of the configuration on the hubs is not possible. You must manually synchronize the configs.

  • How do I see the actual clients in Apache access.log ip address when front-end is a load balancer.

  • Hyperion 11.1.2.3 Linux load balancing installation - how to test?

    Hi all

    I installed the version Hyperion 11.1.2.3 on 2 Server (6) of Linux. We installed the Foundation Hyperion Planning and Essbase on Server1. Hyperion Planning on Server2 (Load balance).

    Installation and configuration performed and workspace, planning of work in both servers. In the Weblogic planning Cluster is created by EMP Configurator only and deployed Planning0, planning of the depenses1 servers.

    Now how to test the load balancing happens or not?

    Thank you

    Mady

    As demand would go through web server (OHS), first thing to try would be to stop planning0 and check if you are able to do things, then vice - versa. By default, I think that the load balancing would be responsive, so as the first request goes to planning0 then the depenses1 planning and planning0.

    Thank you

  • vCO 5.5 high availability / load balancer configuration

    I do a planning for a new deployment of vCO 5.5 and I would like to take advantage of the new features for high availability, but documentation seems to be a little lacking in Department of load balancer. I hope someone knows the answers to the following questions using zero in on possible configurations for load balancing options:

    Calls to instances of vCO they state or can I use a setting of type stateless round robin for the configuration of lb or what do I need to support sessions?

    Is there a health control end point which I can query the load balancer to automatically remove service instances in a configuration active / active failure? If there isn't a specific is a good audit can be done to create a service to act as a health check?

    Did he already works with a configuration similar and willing to share their experiences?
