Initiators of software iSCSI Microsoft Cluster in guest

Hi guys

I have a client who have iSCSI Storage... now they want to create a cluster, but I read that only FC SAN is supported for RDM...

but it seems that iscsi is supported as iscsi in guest...

If someone knows the configuration for this?

or is it as simple as:

1. create iscsi volume of Quorum

2. create iscsi for data volumes

3 activate the iscsi initiator in Windows 2008 guest VM

4 map these to W2008 VM iscsi volume

5. create an another PortGroup-VLAN for the private heartbeat (is it necessary or the private sector can take thje same segment as the notrmal network)?

Thank you very much

Oh, sorry I didn't answer your original question.

You are right, you must configure the virtual computer with 3 vNIC on 3 different subnets, then make sure that the public network is on top, when configuring the network order in the BONE (don't know where it was in 2008 for Windows, in Windows 2003 is configurable in the advanced network settings) Guest.

  • Microsoft Cluster in vSphere using RDM disks

    Gentlemen, I have doubts that sounds simple, but it is better to ask than to the hurt things.

    Here, in the company where I started work two weeks ago. We have two servers of files Windows Server 2012, both are part of Microsoft Cluster Services, these two servers are virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5, each on a host, here we use vCenter HA and DRS.

    Well, these file servers 03 RDM disks connected to the fibre channel, storage only disks are online only on node 1, node 2 drives are present in the computer Manager, but marked offline.

    To my knowledge, my experience of simple Microsoft cluster, the disks must be online on all nodes for disaster recovery is quick, for example through cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V Server R2 of 2012 using iSCSI storage and always leave the disks online on all nodes.

    My question is: is there a reason why a node drives remain online and the other node is taken offline? Because of RDM technology?

    I can then do disks on node 2 as well as online without risk?

    I'm an environment that left another analyst configured, had never made Windows Server 2012 in virtualized VMware vSphere servers cluster using RDM disks, so made the questions, so instead of simply in clicking on node 2 of disks and makes them online it is better to ask before

    Thank you!

    Ivanildo, is the normal Windows Server Failover Clustering behavior, since it is an active/passive cluster architecture, where a single node read/write a disk at a time, and is not a problem due to the use of RDMS in vSphere environment.

    The bellow image show two discs a WSFC, where 6 disk Offline on that particular node and the 7 disc is online:

    And, do TRY not to put the disks as offline being online on another node through disk management, this task must be performed by using the Failover Cluster Management console.

  • MS on NFS and iSCSI with cluster?

    Clustering for vSphere management guide States that only storage fibre channel is supported of the CF/MSCS clusters, so I'm sure I already know the answer to that, but...

    I have a client who wants to run a NetApp storage solution active cluster failover, configure the disks in the operating system for Windows 2008 R2 servers on an NFS volume and application driven on a DRM iSCSI data.  IOPS / s and network side, someone set up a cluster like this before, and if so what were your experiences?  I'm just trying to get an idea of what kind of potential problems to wait on the road.  I also assume that VMware is not going to support because they advise against it expressly.  Thoughts?



    -Justin

    According to me, that it will simply not work. ISCSI initiator Software in ESX/ESXi does not support persistent reservations SCSI-3, which is required by MSCS on 2008 and above. With the help of the RDM will not change it. I don't know if iSCSI HBA will work.

    The workaround for this is to use software iSCSI initiator inside 2008. Operating system can sit on NFS datastore. Quorum and the data must be on iSCSI LUNS connected via the Windows iSCSI initiator.

  • ESX 3.5i / software iSCSI?

    I plan on upgrading a cluster of ESX 3.02 tomorrow to ESX 3.5.

    I would use 3.5i because of its lack of a service console, we had some problems in the initial Setup, getting the iSCSI traffic because we have an iSCSI subnet separated from our hosted customer (who is on 192.168.x.x network).

    Although I am quite familiar with 3.5i - I still try to use the software iSCSI with this version.   Can it be done?

    Sven

    It should work without problem.  You will need to create a separate vSwitch for the iSCSI network with a kernel port assigned to the iSCSI IP address range.  You will also ensure that iSCSI is allowed through the firewall.

  • Software problems - Microsoft Office - Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

    :_| Hi all

    I use a USB Bluetooth dongle to transfer data between my PC and my cell phone.

    Since the installation of the software Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (first of all, I used the 5.0 and later upgraded to the last 6.10.10) I have problems with Microsoft Office.

    When I try to double-click any document office (Word, Excel etc.) It takes about 30 seconds for Word to open software and then additional 30 seconds for the Office document to open it in the software-> almost 60 seconds!

    But when I open the desktop in the start menu software - programs - Microsoft Word, it is opened in about 2 seconds! However, while the office is _opened_:
    1. when opening a document threw the file menu - open there are still 30 seconds for the document to open.
    2. When you try to open any office document (while the office is open) threw the Windows Explorer, it takes 30 seconds.

    Now, I am writing in the Toshiba forum because when I cancel the Bluetooth manager of the _msconfig_ utility and reboot, the PC and the Office once again is working percfectly.

    Help, please

    PS
    I use Windows XP Home SP3

    Hallo Danny

    Maybe to stupid questions, but I want to know which laptop Toshiba model you have and who is the manufacturer of the Bluetooth USB dongle that you use to transfer data?

  • MSCS - NLB Microsoft cluster

    Hello

    We have 4 cluster NLB nodes on Production site and we expect protect it with MRS. 5.1.1.

    SRM 5.1.1 supports 2-node Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS).  vSphere 5.1.x supports up to 5-node MSCS. SRM 5.1.x supports 2-node MSCS.

    Is it possible to have 4 NLB nodes in production and to protect only two nodes with MRS? as we just need two nodes for DR.

    Not sure, but I think you mix two features here, MSCS, and NETWORK load balancing. The restrictions apply to MSCS, but not NETWORK load balancing (unless I'm missing something).

    We have helped the software iSCSI adapter, add 'Vitrtual Switch' and 'Port group' for iSCSI testing.

    Now, we have already deleted the virtual switch and would like to know if it is possible to remove the software iSCSI adapter?

    OR Alternatively, we can leave the adapter software there without deleting?

    Thank you

    Post edited by: TonyJK

    You can remove the software iscsi adapter by disabling everything first. Under the SWiscsi adapter > properties > configure > disable activated.

    After that, the server will request a reboot for the change.

    After this restart, swiSCSI adapter would have been automatically deleted.
