• ESXi 4.0 / 4.1 Broadcom iSCSI installation program / Support with unloading iSCSI

  Hello.

  I am new to the use of iSCSI on ESXi so I may have a few questions already answered. Sorry for that.

  Is it true that ESXi 4.1 supports iSCSI unloading, while ESXi 4.0 does not work?

  How to set up properly? I have a Dell R510 with an Quadport Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709.

  I like to use two network of 5709 with links LACP ports to connect to my iSCSI target (QNAP).

  I found a few messages about creating two vSwitches which each card of a network and mapping the vSwitch (vmkx) to the vmhbaXX (esxcli swiscsi nic add - n vmk1 vmhba35 - d).

  What is the right way? How to set up link aggregation then?

  This is what it looks like:

• Install RedHat v 5.5 on PE R720, disk drives not found during installation

  Hey community,.

  I am trying to install on a R720 5.5 HR.  It has 8 disks (500 GB) install, I set them up as two raid 0. First raid is two disk for the system, the second raid is configured with 6 other data in raid 0 disks.  I went through the raid configuration and the configuration of the life cycle.  They are configured to use the BIOS.

  Any configuration, I've set up install RH does not see disks at all.

  I can't understand why and how to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  cosky

  Cosky,

  With the R720, as well as all other 12th generation servers, the version of RedHat minimum supported is 5.7.

  So the problem is probably due to the pilot in this version is not compatible with the new controller.

• 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!

  Petar

  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.

• vSphere iSCSi don't suport VM Cluster?

  0 down vote favorite

  I'll build a cluster of virtual machines with vSphere 5.1. I am finding solution to store data. I want to iSCSi, but when I see information on vsphere documentation I see with vSphere iSCSi doesn't support 'VM Cluster', but supports HA and Drs I have known HA activate only when creating a "Cluster (cluster host). (VMware vSphere 5.1) I don't know that just 'VM Cluster' is that. Please help me to explain different from 'VM Cluster' and 'Cluster host. Thank you very much!

  Cluster VM are features such as MSCS (MS Cluster) or Oracle RAC. You can see examples on the following doc:

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-51/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-511-Setup-MSCS.PDF

  Don worry, HA/DRS will work perfectly

• RedHat Server p2v on esxi 4.1

  Hi guys,.

  It is possible to do with a converter?

  There is a technical guide?

  Which is a taken linux distribution supported?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Yes Redhat is supported - you can check what versions of redhat are supported on ESX 4.1 here:

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  It is possible to make the p2v with converter - in General, you just need to enable root ssh access to the source computer. The http://www.vmware.com/pdf/convsa_50_guide.pdf guide will detail how to convert a linux machine.

• ProLiant BL460c G7 iSCSI SAN boot

  Hello
  I'm looking to start a single ProLiant BL460c G7 of our HDS iSCSI SAN and then install ESXi 5. The blade has no local storage. The SAN is already in use by the cluster of our production.  In the iSCSI SAN config guide it States to set up storage so your host has access LUNS. How can you do this if your host is not installed? How can I configure the LUN to only be accesed by my hosts IQN name when I don't have an IQN name yet? What I must first install ESXi? I'm obviously missing something any help would be great!

  This is true, for this, but as your correctly point out if the OS is not installed how do you have a software iSCSI initiator - boot from an iSCSI SAN is supported only if you have an initiator of independent hardware installed in your ESXi host.

• ESXI 5 Broadcom 5709 ISCSI unloading

  Hello

  anyone read anything new abound the NIC "Broadcom 5709 ISCSI unloading? They develop a Frame Junbo HW unloading driver?

  I don't have the time to test it, but from the RC documents: Broadcom iSCSI adapters do support not IPv6 and frames.

  We will see in the official documentation.

• The profiles breaks iSCSI host configuration

  I determined that host profiles do not support configuring vSS correctly to for iSCSI jumbo frame support.

  How the host profiles work when applied is that they will seduce all of the existing switches and then re - set their place, problem with the way in which it does this is that it supports all the features required. I.e. Jumbo frames.

  I can get my understanding confirmed (host profiles are not fully cooked) and ask the next question.

  Is it possible to tell a host profile to ignore elements like a vSS configuration? My review, it appears that once the host profile was created from a host of sample you can not say NOT to implement parts of it.

  Fix - now host profiles are not fully cooked.

• Right for iSCSI network switch

  I am looking at a switch for an entry-level iSCSI SAN and I'm looking to find the right sort of numbers for the speed and the size of the Mac Address Table.  My storage network is a MSA2324i HP array connected to two HP DL380 G6 servers using iSCSI.

  I had looked at HP Pro curved Switch 2824 and switch SRW2016 of Linksys.  The Linksys, I have used before in the 24 port model and me found it performs well for a 30 users network with VLAN but I want to know if it will support storage network traffic.

  HP Pro curve that I know will be good but it is three times the price and I am limited in the budget.

  Anyone has any advice on a switch which must support traffic from 15 servers, including Exchange 2010 and SQL Server 2005 with DR and HA.

  I would struggle see exhaustion MAC address as a problem. A storage switch must be insulated, and with 15 servers + SAN, you have 16 MAC addresses. Even something very entry level should handle this.

  That you need to make sure, is that the recommendations of the iSCSI standard are supported:

  • Jumbo frames

  • Flow control

  • Rapid STP

  • A bottom of basket fast enough run at full speed on all ports

  • A high level of management.

• Beginners Overview: ESX to an iSCSI SAN servers

  Hello

  I hope I have the right section of the forum to do this, basically

  I'm trying to understand how VMWARE ESX server (3.5 if it is one)

  the difference) would connect to a SAN and what benefits it would be

  provide.

  Apologies if it's really basic, I'm new to both without and VMWare

  ESX so I'll try to understand all the concepts, I tried reading

  the articles, but they are a little dry for me.

  As I understand it, installing it would be something like

  this:

  Physics:

  ESX Server & gt; initiating hardware iSCSI (does not support

  (software?) & gt; cable network & gt; Turn on SAN & gt; Drive auto.

  Logic:

  Something like the creation of a LUN on the SAN itself (via the SAN web page) then use

  customer of VI to point to for a data store? Or is there some control of ESX?

  It would make sense that images of OS VMWare store customers

  on local disks to the ESX Server, so they start from all drives, in which case the SAN is down, then

  have the discs on the virtual machines stored on the SAN? Or will keep you

  everything about the SAN outside the ESX itself, which could at least

  remain separated from the SAN?

  Any help is appreciated.

  The main reason to use SAN storage is to provide shared storage so that you can take take advantage of features order higher than VMware provides as vmotion - the ability to move a running virtual machine form an ESX Server to another with no downtime for users of the virtual machine - DRS based on vmotion allows ensuring that the vms system receive the memory and cpu resources , HA that allows the virtual machine restart on another ESX Server.

  The physical scenario you describe needs to be corrected ESX and ESXi, they built insoftware intiators so you don't have a hardware initiator need - but if you choose to use a material to ensure that it is in the HCL - http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  This document will give you information on the how and why of using SAN storage - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_iscsi_san_cfg.pdf

• iSCSI multipath with Distributed Virtual Switch error

  Ive followed the iSCSI SAN guide and have iSCSI multipathing works well with a regular virtual switch. Ive cancelled all configurations and have begun to see if I can get this working with a dVSwitch.

  I get the error "Add Nic failed in IMA"

  Someone at - it ideas?

  I recently worked on a case of iSCSI with VMware support and they mentioned a known issue with iSCSI and dVS, this is also described in the release notes, but may still have a problem. You can contact the technical support for confirmation.

  • ESX/ESXi 4.0 4.0 does not support the compatible ports with DVS binding configuration VMkernel network interface cards

  If you configure compatible with vNetwork Distributed Switch port binding NICs VMkernel, the operation fails if you enter esxcli swiscsi nic adds - n vmkx d vmhbaxx and vmkiscsi-tool - V - a vmkx vmhbaxx orders through the service console or the vSphere CLI.

  Workaround: Use only inherited vSwitch VMkernel NIC for port binding.

• iSCSI Multipathing

  This feature is in part?

  Hi John

  When you say iSCSI multipathing are you askingif initiator iSCSI s/w supports iSCSI CIDs? As other posters have said, even in iSCSI 3.5.x load balancing / redundancy is supported. One of the best plates of search (over and top the iSCSI SAN configuration guide) is "TA2213 - VMware Infrastructure 3 storage: iSCSI implementation and best practices" presented at VMworld 2008.This apron covers some details very good implementation around load balancing and path multiple configurations.

  In vSphere, we made a lot of improvements iSCSI.  For example, we have ways to set up the iSCSI initiator ESX to each port allows to establish a session to a target.  This means more paths for failover or load balancing. It is documented in the new SAN iSCSI for vSphere config guide which will be online soon.

  hope this helps

• Re: Linux on Satellite M70-181 - recommendations?

  Hello

  as Windows XP support will end next April and my old Satellite still works

  Are there recommendations regarding verson (Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian,...).

  Are there drivers available? (impossible to find anything on the Toshiba site).

  Hello

  This question should probably be divided into 2 sections.

  (1) stability and security.
  It's always a good idea to stick to a branch that is stable and continue to release updates for the given distribution.

  Look at Debian or RedHat (CentOS is a free 'clone' of RedHat).
  Debian and RedHat (CentOS) support their distributions of life or a long time (RedHat) or via a rolling update mechanism (Debian) release.

  (2) performance
  Having a unit of the old school as the M70 really forces you to look at what desktop environment you should look.

  You must avoid KDE4, Gnome3, cinnamon and Unity (specific to Ubuntu). They all look nice and have fancy features but will be (too) heavy load for your old unit to carry.
  Search for rather Mate, LXDE, office environments focused on XFCE for a balanced experience.
  If you want to go for a very lean office there are a number of choices such as Openbox and other similar environments.

  So to sum up - the choice of the distribution is not very easy because it is a decision (at least) 2-step.
  Security/stabilty and choice of desktop environment where the last of them will have the most impact on the memory footprint and processor.

  Here's a place to start looking for your desktop of choice:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment

  This is a very good site for verification of distributions:
