• How to connect to iSCSI SAN without compromising security

  Hello:

  How to enable server OSes (VMS or physical host computers) to connect and LUN iSCSI mount without compromising the safety of our ESX host?  We have a few Microsoft servers that need to use iSCSI initiators at Mount MON for MSCS.   We cannot use the ESX initiators because VMware doesn't support iSCSI to virtual storage with MSCS.  We have already read all the documentation and spoke with VMware support, so we know that our only option is to use the iSCSI initiators in Microsoft servers to connect to the LUN.

  Our concern is security.  If we let the servers use their iSCSI initiators to connect to the San, then they also won't have access to our service and the vkernels via the iSCSI network console?  ESX requires that you have a port the service console and the port of vkernel on the iSCSI network for each ESX box that you want to use the ESX initiator for.  We struggle to understand how to connect any machine (virtual or physical) to the iSCSI network to mount LUN without exposing our service and vkernels consoles.  I know that the best practice is to remove this VMs network for this exact reason, but of course many organizations also have physical servers (UNIX, Windows) who need to access their iSCSI SAN.  How people treat this?  How much of a security problem is it?  Is there a way to secure the service console and vkernel ports while allowing host ESX - no access to the SAN?  I know that many of you are facing this exact in your organizations situation, please help.  Obviously, it is not supposed that nobody uses their SAN iSCSI for anything else except for the ESX host.  I thank very you much.

  Hello

  Check out this blog

  Use of firewall is certainly a step in the right direction for that. If you can't have separate iSCSI networks, then you will need to isolate nodes NON-ESX/VCB iSCSI using other mechanisms. I would certainly opt for firewalls or reduce the redundancy to just 2 network-by-network cards and not 4 to a single network.

  Someone at - it any other suggestions? Surely many ESX users share their iSCSI SAN with a lot of different systems and operating systems. Thanks again.

  They do, but they do not secure their networks for their VMs ESX iSCSI / other physical systems. You have asked a very important question and it's how to connect to iSCSI SAN without compromising safety. If the options are currently:

  1. Physically isolate

  2. Isolate using firewall

  Given that ESX speaks in clear text and does not support IPsec for iSCSI, you have very limited options that are available to you. The firewall you use and charge iSCSI, you send through it will determine if there is no latency. Yes its a cost extra, but if it is an independent network switches/ports/etc.

• Add the host to the cluster vmware and SAN equilogic

  Hello...

  I will add 2 new for our cluster vmware vsphere host... I have not done this before, but think that I got the hang of it...

  But one thing that I am uncertain the San connectivity, is it just to create the map of iscsi on the vsphere host software and then add the adapters iqn name to access the San volumes page and rescan for the accessible volumes in the vmware host?

  That's about all.   Reported Tech on how to do so expressly.

  en.community.dell.com/.../TR1075-Configure-iSCSI-Connectivity-with-VMware-vSphere-5.pdf

  TR1091 shows how to configure VMware ESXi for best practices with storage EQL.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../Download

  In my environment I use CHAP credentials for clusters of ESXi.  In this way a specific set of ESXi nodes use the CHAP username/password to access EQL volumes.  Advantage is when you add a new node, you only need to provide the name of user and password c.  You will not have to change anything on the side of EQL to add/remove a node.

• Impossible to create a network/how to connect to openstack-client CLI

  Hello

  According to the video 'VMware integrated OpenStack - adding networks - YouTube', it shows how to create a network through CLI openstack-client.

  While, I'm new to openstack and don't know how to connect to the CLI client at all.

  I could only try to create a network in the GUI. Here is my configuration:

  

  It looks great, isn't it? However, I get:

  

  Configure anything wrongly? BTW, can someone tell me how to access the CLI openstack-client as the video.

  Here is something you can try.

  If you are using DVS based network, you must enter "dvs" in the section "physical network.

  If you are using NSXV, then you can leave the Network Physics field empty, otherwise you must ensure that you enter a valid dvs moref id.

  For most cases, if you use NSXV, you can simply create network tenent in the project view (then NSXV will take care of it for you).

  Anyway, if you want to use cli, here are the steps.

  1 > connect to the administration server

  2 > ssh-i /home/viouser/.ssh/id_rsa viouser@controller01

  3 > sudo knew.

  4 > source cloudadmin.rc

  Then, you can use the cli freelly.

  Kind regards

• How to restart vmware-vpxa using vMA 4.1

  I would like to know how to restart vmware-vpxa on an ESXi host using the vMA 4.1

  Currently I do with PowerCLI procedure

  SE connect-VIServer "hostname".
  $vpx = get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq "vmware-vpxa"}
  Restart-VMHostService $vpx - confirm

  But do not know how to do it using the vMA

  By default, there is no canned scripts/utilities to restart some services found on an ESX or ESXi host, but using the vSphere API, you can as in PowerCLI.

  Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that does exactly cela and works on vMA - hostServiceManagement.pl

• How to connect computer virtual machine host

  HI gurus,

  I have 2 internal hard drives in a PC. Primary (host) disc hard have win 2003 server and an SAP system, 2nd drive hard having (machine VMWARE) win server 2003 and another of SAP systems. I want to connect SAP through RFC systems. How to connect the 2 devices? What are all the steps needed to connect these 2 machines and 2 SAP systems? How to ensure that the connection has been established?

  Concerning

  Raja

  Your uses (host only) VMnet 1 and IP network address of the 192.168.174.0 network. Your host has the address of node of 192.168.174.1 in this network. You can see VMnet1 host IP configuration.

  To be able to get the two machines communicate with each other, the guest must have an IP address in the same network. You have two options here, where I would choose one to make sure that the address does not change in the future (better for SAP I think):

  1. assign a static IP address at the prompt.

  Go to your comments and change IP address of 200.200.200.20 to 192.168.174.2.

  2. use of VMWare DHCP Server service.

  By default, this service must be running. Go to theguest and choose DHCP in TCP/IP configuration. The client will automatically get an IP address of 192.168.174.0.

  Enter the following lines in the files 'hosts' of the two systems:

  192.168.174.1 ecc6.mycompany.com ecc6

  192.168.174.2 sapserver sapserver.mycompany.com

  Now try if the communication works: open a DOS window on the host computer, and run the command "ping 192.168.1.2. You should receive the prompt responses.

  Try to ping the host from the host by using 'ping 192.168.174.1' there.

  As long as this does not work, nothing else to Word the communications between two machines.

  If this works, you should be able to use shared folders using the names from the "hosts" file or IP addresses.

  For example:

  ecc6\ +.

• How to connect new IMac to old IMac to transfer files?

  I need to plug my June 2010 IMac in a new IMac 2016 to transfer data.  What cable do I and what ports should I use to connect?

  Thank you.

  Gina

  You can do it with an Ethernet cable (and on two Macs Ethernet ports) and use file sharing.  You can also connect via WiFi, but the transfer speed will be slower.  If both Mac connected to the Internet via a common router, you already have a link between two Macs.  Here is information on file sharing

• Want to 750-209: how to connect an old sound system to a new computer

  I wanted a new 750-209 and a former speaker of Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks 19th Point Surround 4 + under low voltage. There are 2 connector; Left and right who are article 3 (each take manages 3 drivers). The envy has 1 output. It seems that I need a derivation ending in female connectors.

  My question? How to connect the two? Is it still possible? I'd hate to have a decent sound system of junk. My needs are basic - just to be able to listen on AOL or YouTube.

  Any ideas on how to accomplsh my goal.

  Just to close this debate; unfortunaely the quick response has not responded to the problem. BestBuy has suggested that I try a composed of derivation of a shot and 2 containers. Finally, I got the system works 'after' discovery that the enormous power brick disliked the new arrangement of power when I replaced the old computer with the desire. I had to replace an adapter 3 - wat and consolidate the brick. A lot of noise to get her old system to work but now I have the choice of speakers or headphones driven by a hold on a HDMI monitor. All's well that ends well. Thanks for the interest.

• How to connect two computers and LAN

  I can't get my toshiba to interface with my desktop computer or to connect to the internet via a CAT5.
  I tried everything I know.

  I'm not too sure about the LAN MAC? He just will not connect even if the device is functioning properly.

  Any ideas?

  Here are the instructions how can connect the two computers.

  -First of all, you will need to disable the firewall.
  -Then you need to set the same workgroup on both computers
  -in the Lan Card Properties-> Protocol TCP/IP settings, you must assign the IP address manually. That is, a computer must use the 192.186.50.1 ip address and the other computer must be set to 192.186.50.2.
  -MAC address is fixed and cannot be changed. Each LAN card uses unique mac address

  After these settings, you must restart the portable computers (computers)

  PS: I recommend Google for details and further instructions.

• Satellite A200 - how to connect to the TV?

  Hi you.

  You can use two cables to connect your laptop to the TV. It s according to the interfaces on the laptop and the TV, but in both cases, it of the same:
  Connect the cable to the laptop and TV, turn on your TV and select the right channel, then turn on your laptop. After the clean boot procedure, you can switch between monitors with FN + F5.

  If you use S-Video cable make sure you are using the coding system good TV, e.g. PAL or NTSC.
