• iSCSI Boot on IBM Bladecenter

  Hi all

  Were switching environment leaves IBM with 32 GB of RAM and

  built in maps iSCSI. With that, we do iSCSI boot for the

  Drive to ESX. someone at - it experience with this? When I put it initially

  up, I did the installation with just an active card, it went very well, and

  on the prior knowledge of the fiber, I activated then the 2nd card and cela

  has run fine for a few days... Eventually the file system went read only.,.

  and I contacted Netapp. They sent documentation which seemed ot

  say disable the 2nd card, unless you will begin her. In

  addition, I had to completely out of the IP of the 2nd card

  to ensure that the errors do not return.

  Is this normal?

  Have you installed the Netapp iSCSI utility on each ESX Server ESX host? I also believe that I saw a Netapp engineer mention in his blog to turn off the second card at the start of SAN.

• ISCSI Boot B200 M2 need, but get 'not enough available vNIC.

  Hello

  I'm trying to implement initialization iSCSI ESXi on a B200 M2 w / M71KR-Q card above.

  I add vNIC A and B (each linked to a fabric respectively), but trying to implement a vNIC iSCSI - I get the error «not enough vNIC» available

  Looking around, it seems that M71KR-Q only can support 2 vNIC (which I also confirmed by trying to add a third, same error message as above).

  I just thought that since the overlay of iSCSI vNIC real - it works.

  However, even when adding just 1 vNIC and trying to superimpose a vNIC top iSCSI - I get the "there not enough resources overall, not enough vNIC available" error message.

  Does anyone know if it is even possible to initializing iSCSI on B200-M2 w / M71KR-Q on?

  Thanks in advance!

  Please refer to this document in the section documents iSCSI boot https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-18756 it is very detailed, I tell myself.

  initializing iSCSI is only supported on CiscoVIC and Broadcom mezz cards. It is not supported on the M71KR-Q Qlogic Gen - 1 mezz.

• Is iSCSI boot supported with VMware 5.5?

  Hello

  I see that VMware 5.5 is supported with the latest UCS code.  Do you know if it supports the iSCSI boot?

  Thank you.

  Hi Carl,

  Yes, it is, you can also check by looking at the compatibility below matrix (see example).  I would like to know if you have any questions or accept this post if I answered your questions

• iSCSI Boot target IP Question

  Hi all

  Setting up iSCSI starts for the first time and had a question.

  Installation: Blades UCS about a pair of N5K (vPC) with a double NetApp controller connected.  There are 4 UCS vNIC - two for only iSCSI (as the VLAN native) and two for everything else.

  The blades odd dΘmarrez since LUN on NetApp controller and the blades even dΘmarrez since LUN on NetApp B controller.

  So my question.  When I make for an odd Blade (for example) iSCSI targets, do I have both A and B "NIC" s point on A controller's IP?  Or NIC - A point on A controller and IP point of NIC - B to B controller IP?  I was not sure that, in this example, the controller would hold unit number logic that this odd blade is starting from.

  Thank you!

  Hi Ian

  You can add up to two iSCSI vNIC startup strategy. A vNIC acts as the source of primary iSCSI boot, and the other acts as the source of secondary iSCSI boot.

  "point of NIC - A controller - A IP and NIC B points to the IP Address of the controller of B ' YES.

  You would create another strategy of starting for blades, with the primary order / trade school.

  Make sure that you assign you best effort to 9216 so class on the system UCS class.

  The return traffic is probably not sent with a COS value so the UCS is the treatment to best effort which by default is 1500.

• ESXI 5 IBM HS22 - linscsi: SCSILinuxAbortCommands: 1798: failure, pilot MPT SAS Host to vmhba0

  I see a problem with our HS22 after an upgrade from 4.1 to 5. On the 8th, we have 2 of them disconnected from the VCenter about once a week. When the host disconnects it does not make a reposonse HA and move the machine virtual. VM will continue to function normally on the disconnected unless I try to connect to the console for ESXI 5. Loging in hard ESXI console crashes the host and drop the virtual machine. The host logs displays the following error.

  linscsi: SCSILinuxAbortCommands: 1798: failure, pilot MPT SAS Host to vmhba0

  So far, we tried the following.

  1. material update all firmware HS22 with the LSI controller and the IBM Online SAS.

  2 found and update of the LSI drivers on the ESXI host

  3 amazed both does not host and re - install a new copy ESXI 5

  I checked that the HS22 and all equipment is listed in the compatibility list. IBM also list ESXI 5 as it is supported on the HS22.

  So far since the wiping and reloading ESXI 5, we were running about a week without failure. I just wanted to leave a message here and see if anyone else is seeing on of HS22 and found a solution that I have not listed.

  Maybe that's a problem with the remapping of interruption. I remember reading somewhere that the IBM HS22 is not compatible with that.

• Why not see 6 vCPU in an IBM HS22, CPU 5670 x 1 with ESX4.1?

  Hello

  We install the ESX4.1 without a license (60 day free trial) on an IBM HS22 (Intel 5670 x 1).

  According to the 5670 Intel specification, it is a core of 6, 12 HT CPU.

  http://www.Intel.com/products/server/processor/xeon5000/index.htm

  So with the HT on, we should see total 12 vCPU ESX host, but we just saw 6, which would be - this evil?

  Is this because od free trial license? Or due to without VC?

  Thank you

  You should see 6 physics and 12 logical cores.

  What is the result of the Configuration / CPU tab?

• IBM HS22, 1 NIC cannot get IP address. 2nd ok NIC.

  Hi all

  I encounter strange thing.

  ESXi 4.1 on IBM HS22 blade on chassis-H.

  If I install Windows prompt, the NETWORK card can not get IP from our DHCP. Even though I installed Vmware tools on the guest.

  I discovered that the workaround is:

  -Add a 2nd NIC

  -Start the guest, 2nd NIC gets IP

  -Stop comments

  -Remove 1 St NiC

  Has anyone seen this also? What cause it?

  Thank you.

  I would say it's a standard conf but seems you have from the problem through one of the swtich. I would like to try this, remove (if you can) the Module connectivity server IBM Ethernet thant check wich nic on the esx host are always connected.

  Reconfigure the nic VM if needed and try again.

  Second thing, I'm sure you did or you would not connectivitry at all... but make sure that you enable the external ports of the MAO.

  If you set a static ip address on the virtual machine doesn't work? I wonder if you don't 'have some kind of filter... on the switch.

• Network load balancing ibm hs22 esxi 5

  Hello everyone, I have a HS22 blade connected to a bladecenter H with ethernet 2 e/s switching modules. So my HS22 has 2 nic and each blade is connected to the switch diferent on the center of the blade. I want to configure nic teaming on me HS22 Server ESXi 5. the load balancing mode I configured the default option on the ESXi. I would like to ask if I need to connect two ethernet io modules switching to a single external switch, or it's better to connect them to 2 diferent switches and maybe configure the VLAN same on ports of all swithces?

  It depends on the level of redundancy you want for your network. There should be no problem with 2 switches if they are properly configured.

  Hola Escaprix.

  Depends on if realmente puedes aprovechar las while of 10 GB, eso seria muy bueno.

  Of todas formas yo lo configuraria asi:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  vSwitch0: vmnic0 giga, giga vminic1.

  Service Console port - group

  Group of ports - Vmotion

  Nations United Haces overthrow Las network cards:

  The Group of the Service Console port y pones por ej. the activa 0 y the 1 como stand-by.

  Port group of Vmotion y pones por ej. the 1 activa y como 0 stand by.

  ----------------------------------------------------------

  vSwitch1: vmnic2 10g, 10 g vmnic3

  Port - group Virtual Machines

  vmnic2 y vmnic3 activas para las vms.

  ----------------------------------------------------------

  Esto you dara para tarjeta paradigmas Vmotion is replaced by VMware Recomiendan y redundancia.

  Lo mismo para la SConsole.

  Espero haber sido ayuda.

• IBM HS22 hyperthreading

  Hello

  Just enable hyperthreading on the "BIOS" of the blade but the ESX still shows me inactive (activate when restarting) (not Active), he says that I have to restart the server to enable it. But I rebooted the server several times without success...

  No idea why this phenomenon occurs?

  your CPU supports hyperthreading?

• boot from san ESXi 4.1 on IBM Blade

  Hello community,

  I'm trying to BFS on a blade IBM HS22 blade.

  The SAN is a DS4700...

  Then, don't worry pour assign LUNS to the blade, I can mount ISO install ESXi4.1 and boot from it, do the deployment.

  But I can't boot from it at the next restart... Finally half I managed on a blade, and not another (her twin), each with well hidden and separate LUNS.

  Do you have an idea of how to set up the BIOS of the blade (and possibly of the QLogic card) pour booter from SAN?

  On the blade or it works, and ben is totally by chance, in fact...

  If you've done this, and BIOS the who HS22 blade, I'm interested to set up parameters pour un BFS correct!

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Pilow,

  Activate the of there are BIOS of the HBA cards and tell them about what boot LUN. Take a look at this article for more info.

• Problem; ESX 5u1, initializing iSCSI on NetApp

  The problem that we see is;  VMware 5u1, even on 5 takes about 90% through the installation/copy of VMware on an 8 GB logical unit number (lun id 0)... .fails with the message "wait 2 start benches, found 0.

  It is a known problem with ESX 5.  At the end of installation to the iSCSI boot LUN, the Setup program tries to re - initialize the adapter iSCSI with a DHCP address.  This fails and kicks on the error you see.  Installation fine filled aura - restart just like you did.

  The VMFS LUNS not created on the start for ESX 5 LUN also is expected behavior.

  Kind regards

• initializing iSCSI SAN in VMWare Workstation 9

  Hi all!

  I created an iSCSI Target (Debian Wheezy) and an iSCSI Initiator (CentOS 6). Installation of netinstall (of CentOS) on eth0 to LUN0 on eth1 worked very well. Adjusted BIOS on VMWare to boot from first e1000. At startup, the operating system tries immediately PXE boot, iSCSI not...

  Any big brain here know what I'm doing wrong? I got about 16 hours sunk trying to develop this project, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time!

  Here is the answer to my problem: VMWare Workstation 9 does not support iSCSI boot.  It requires 'PXE chainloading', where a gPXE (or iPXE), PXE loads image gives VMWare PXE allows to start an iSCSI target.  Here are some valuable pages, I found on the subject, even if none show my specific "PXE boot CentOS of Debian iSCSI in VMWare Workstation 9"... guess I am the only one to write this tutorial!
