• iSCSI HBA NIC teaming on recommended vSS?

  Hi all

  Just curious when you have two iSCSI HBAS do not use VMwares iSCSI Software initiator you still need to make sure that the following configs are in place? :

  Vmk1 - iSCSI0 - VMNIC1 - Active

  VMNIC2 - not used

  VMK2 - ISCSI1 - VMNIC2 - Active

  VMNIC1 - not used

  Or can you just leave it as active/active with Orig Port ID?

  There is much info on what to do with the software iSCSI initator but what when you have HBA?

  Yes. I added a link to my previous post which illustrates the configuration.

• Free hypervisor ISCSI HBA

  I'm looking for a hba iscsi which will work without problem and can be which is not expensive.

  Can someone advice me?

  Thank you.

  Yes, either check with the seller (that should know) and also take a look at VMware HCL to http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=io to see what iSCSI HBA is taken in charge for the different versions of ESX (i). There are also a couple of network server adapters, which can be used as iSCSI HBA, but some of them do not support frames.

• 10 G of copper iSCSI HBA / NIC?

  Because of vSphere 4.1 support 10G copper iSCSI HBA / NIC? It will support VSphere 5? If it is supported, which it will support?

  I agree with golddiggie on the Intel stuff.  There are cards that work well, you can also search the forums here some of the brands and models to see what problems people have met with them and the possible configuration changes that can help.

  If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful!  Thank you!

• iSCSI HBA + SAN, EqualLogic

  I have a new deployment, I plan.

  I'm looking at a PS6000VX EQL - dual controller with 4 x GBIT by controller cards. In my opinion, it works in an active/passive configuration.

  What is worth of watching me iSCSI HBA with this sollution? Cost is not a problem at all. Performance/reliability/redundancy is.

  I understand with HBA you can multi-path, but with a sollution active/passive is not treated by the table flipping? In that it switches IP on assets of Eve? (with equallogic?)

  Any comments?

  Do you have more information in this plugin MPIO?

  Is still in beta... so there is no official information.

  But will probably like the MPIO module for the Microsoft iSCSI initiator (which can use all the links on the active controller).

  There will be a big reason to go with the software on a HBA iSCSI initiator?

  It's cheaper

  And you can license to have the company more

  understand my reading that Equallogic doesn't have any special configuration as the SP manages failover.

  Right.

  Just remember to follow the proposed (by Dell) network topology if you use two switches (instead of a main switch with 2 stacked modules).

• adding targets to send the iscsi hba software.

  Hello

  I am trying to add dynamic send targets to a host ESX 3.5.  Here is the code I wrote, but there is something wrong with it.  Someone at - it worked with this before or would be able to tell me where I'm wrong?

  Thank you

  Matt

  Here is my code:

  My $iscsisvr = Opts::get_option ('iscsisvr');

  My $hostview = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = & gt; "HostSystem");

  My $host_ss = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = & gt; $hostview - & gt; configManager - & gt; storage system);

  My $host_sv = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = & gt; $host_ss - & gt; storageDeviceInfo);

  My $host_hbaview = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = & gt; $host_sv - & gt; hostBusAdapter (bus = & gt; "32", device = & gt; "vmhba'));

  My $sendTargetSpec = HostInternetScsiHbaSendTarget - & gt; New (address = & gt; $iscsisvr);

  My $addSendTarget = AddInternetScsiSendTarget - & gt; New (iScsiHbaDevice = & gt; "vmhba32", target = & gt; $sendTargetSpec);

  $host_hbaview - & gt; HostInternetScsiHba (configuredSendTarget = & gt; $addSendTarget);

  Find one or two things:

  Probably, you won't need the storageDeviceInfo unless you want to verify that the iscsi HBA is configured (which may not be).  You also do not get a view of the hostBusAdapter.  You must remove that as well.

  You can delete the following text:

  my $host_sv = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $host_ss->storageDeviceInfo);
  my $host_hbaview = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $host_sv->hostBusAdapter(bus => '32', device => 'vmhba'));
  

  There was a spelling error in AddInternetScsiSendTargets (you have it as AddInternetScsiSendTarget).  In addition, this method is off your HostStorageSystem, in this case, $host_ss.  You need to perform a rescan after adding the target as well.

  Change:

  my $sendTargetSpec = HostInternetScsiHbaSendTarget->new(address => $iscsisvr);
  my $addSendTarget = AddInternetScsiSendTarget->new(iScsiHbaDevice => 'vmhba32', targets => $sendTargetSpec);
  
  $host_hbaview->HostInternetScsiHba(configuredSendTarget => $addSendTarget);
  

  TO:

  my $sendTargetSpec = HostInternetScsiHbaSendTarget->new(address => "$iscsisvr");
  $host_ss->AddInternetScsiSendTargets(iScsiHbaDevice => 'vmhba32', targets => [$sendTargetSpec]);
  $host_ss->RescanHba( hbaDevice => "vmhba32");
  

  I would probably change your code to something like the following:

  sub FindVmhba32
  {
       my $HBAs = shift;
  
       foreach ( @{$HBAs} )
       {
  
            if ( $_->device eq "vmhba32" )
            {
                 return $_;
  
            }
       }
       return undef;
  }
  
  my $host_ss = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $host_view->configManager->storageSystem);
  
  my $host_sv =  $host_ss->storageDeviceInfo;
  my $vmhba32 = FindVmhba32($host_sv->hostBusAdapter);
  
  unless (defined $vmhba32)
  {
       Util::disconnect();
       die "Failed to find ISCSI HBA ('vmhba32')";
  }
  
  my $sendTargetSpec = HostInternetScsiHbaSendTarget->new(address => $iscsisvr);
  $host_ss->AddInternetScsiSendTargets(iScsiHbaDevice => 'vmhba32', targets => [$sendTargetSpec]);
  $host_ss->RescanHba( hbaDevice => "vmhba32");
  

  You can drop the FindVmhba32 subroutine and simply use a block around the AddInternetScsiSendTargets eval.  You can throw a few errors, one of them is not found if the specified HBA is not found.

• ISCSI HBA con problemas y el failover

  Is.

  Tengo el the siguiente problema: tengo UN IBM BladeCenter, in sus hojas tengo una an ESX 3.5 con una controladora iSCSI HBA DOUBLE. Por otro lado UN IBM DS3300 iSCSI storage con doble controladora.

  CONFIGURADO siguiente manera:

  A HBA port - 192.168.3.60 & gt; switch 1 & gt; SPA_NIC1 - 192.168.3.53 - SPB_NIC1 - 192.168.3.55

  B HBA port - 192.168.4.61 & gt; switch 2 & gt; SPA_NIC2 - 192.168.4.54 - SPB_NIC2 - 192.168.4.56

  Development the situation ahora y el problema.

  Having esta config tengo cuatro paths o caminos hacía las del LUN storage.

  Ahora el problema.

  If switch 1 (simulando una caida) apago El el failover happens sin problemas y los caminos increasing an el use switch 2. Hasta ahi esta in orden, don't sin embargo, cuando todo is restituye the led unit switch 1, el ESX no vuelve a ver estos caminos, por lo tanto if only una caida en el switch 2 the unit total seria perdida. Esto sucede tanto if the fixed esta o en MRU failover policy.

  The unica manera por the black recover esos switch paths led back 1 are doing UN Scaneo las LUNS. Sucede lo mismo so the caida is da en el switch2.

  MI jerking that're esos caminos is recuperen automatically cuando vuelven a estar activos, y currently only en indefinidamente "DEAD."

  The Plaça HBA are una QLOGIC 40xx.

  The question are so estoy cometiendo algun error config o tr por el contrario en is debe realize algun seteo para a nivel del ESX as chequee los paths.

  Gracias a todos.

  Buenas ElGogy,

  The "problem" is in the telephone box, todo lo demas esta Ok. Cabina give en dicha HCL y luego the quitaron y luego volvieron a poner. Finalmente esta con admitida ESX > = 3.5 y solo con Software initiator. (Played a look has the HCL ahora are easy con search: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=search&deviceCategory=san&productId=1&keyBasic=ds3300&maxDisplayRows=50&key=ds3300&release%5B%5D=-1&datePosted=-1)

  Fijate tambien in communities of las este thread of: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/121802?tstart=0&start=0

  Of todas formas as you creo La cabina esta running OK. El con las DS of ESX behavior are MRU, aun if usar el pones o no el fixed en ESX (the da igual has the cabina.). Este behavior is lo Indica has the 'lun to host mapping' pones en cabina cuando LNXCLUSTER el. (that are that hay than poner lo).

  Cabinas are Simplemente no tienen el failback automático. Supongo as lo hacen para avoid errors: If a cae switch, mejor you criteria y requiera manual attention stink if no dock than a switch could what's cae y is levanta todo el rato (fallos momentaneos en the conexion, fallos electricos in bucle, o firmware aleatorio, fallo x ej,) would be doing that el cambie rising path, no're lo mejor del mundo.

  A saludo y espero you sirva!

  Then, remove the Novatel directory in Program Files. They claimed that remove the directory was the key.

  Then add the drivers of Windows XP to return to the large map Strip MC760.

• Installation Manager requires to close PhotoshopServer and dynamiclinkmanager, but how?

  Hey there everyone,

  Santa told Photoshop and first Elements 10 for my Mac and I m try as hard as I can to operate on my iMac...

  The biggest problem is:

  Installation Manager requires to close "PhotoshopServer" and "dynamiclinkmanager" and guess what: I have don´know how f * king close them! (please forgive my cuss but I m done)

  It would be incredible if West anyone who can solve my problem for/with me!

  Simon Best

  Hello

  Have you had an older version of Photoshop installed on your Mac?

  First of all, restart your computer. So before you start the installation, go to the "Activity Monitor" on your Mac. (can be found under utilities).

  Once you open the activity monitor, select "All processes" in the drop-down list at the top.

  Search for Photoshopserver and dynamiclinkmanager in the list of processes.

  Select them and click "exit".

  Try to reinstall Photoshop.

  Let us know if you continue to face the same question.

• iSCSI HBA adapter

  Been having a lot of problems with a repressive IBM X 3650 M2 and its compatibility with the UEFI.  The problem I have now is that one does not see the storage and was curious to know if HBA will really hurt.  I know that sounds like a stupid question, but it's the only thing I have left.  I checked, double checked, m and triple checked all the settings and they are correct.  Swapped cables, exchanged ports and after a new analysis to show anything.  The other adapter is fine and the only other thing that I've been swap cards around.  Did not have to open the box.  Are there other things I can try to see why this HBA adapter can not see the storage?  It pings very good also.  The wuggestions are welcome. Thank you

  Perry

  Is there a firewall between you and the iSCSI storage?  Using CHAP?  Have you checked that the initiator is set up for CHAP authentication on the storage side?  There could be lots of things, even a HBA bad as you mention... but if it can ping successfully I guess it's a problem of configuration somewhere.

• iSCSI HBA Mapping?

  Hi people,

  I recently updated my servers to two HBA ports. I plugged in and this through the configuration, and they are all in a race. But in the journal, the configuration is slightly different, and I don't know what the right/best.

  Here's a picture to view the configuration...

  

  To be honest, I don't really understand the discovery thing static/dynamic. A primitive test seem to fail at the top of ok in the following scenarios:

  1. a the HBA port is unplugged

  2. If a controller is removed from the San.

  Can someone sched all light/thoughts/feedback on this configuration?

  I would make two identical configurations, but don't know which one to use.

  According to the scenario of DS3300 configuration to improve performance, it is better if the two controller using a different IP subnet.

  Hello

  Thanks for your help, Kim. But I guess I won't find the answer in this thread. Also for your future responses to this problem I found a solution.
  If you open your registry database and open the tab of the local machine and in current software > windows you can see that when the Service Pack is installed on windows by default sets "Spcache" in the directory of the CD-ROM so that you will not be able to install unless if you have a RW in your ROM. Or the simple solution to change its value from CD-ROM drive allows, assume that "C:\". "drive"N:\ ". "to your windows.

  Nice day

• No disk Vista installation - bad/missing file on reboot prevents the go mode without installation disc required

  Is it possible to get an installation disk of Vista download image/content.  I have a valid code of MS for Vista, but there was no installation disc provided with the computer at the time of purchase (without recovery disc either).  An installation disc is required to restart the computer to restore startup files that have been corrupted or damaged in case of overheating of the CPU.

  If Windows Vista was preinstalled on your computer, contact your computer manufacturer and ask a Setup for your model disk. Boulder computer Maven
