• ESX 4.1 and LSI Megaraid Storage Manager

  Hi all!

  I'm testing a move of VMWare vCenter server for my organization and I am running into a problem.

  In my test environment, I have a Supermicro H8DME-2 motherboard with a Raid SAS LSI 9261 - 8i on that controller.  I currently have 2x750GB Sata in Raid 1 drives configured on the LSI controller.

  VSphere health now, reports that everything is perfect, especially when I pull on one of the hard drives.

  My problem is my ability to rebuild the table if I replace a drive.  I do not see this feature within vSphere (and I am not advanced to vCenter again, although I intend to do).  I was hoping to get LSI MSM installed, but I get an error.

  I installed MSM 8.00 - 05 website of LSI and used the vmware installation script.  I opened the ports required in the firewall of ESX.  I loaded the MSM client on either a guest on the ESX host or on my own machine and I am able to login and connect to the server.

  Loads of everything and I have just enough time to just a few clicks (about 20 seconds) until I lose the connection to the server.  After that, I can't reconnect unless I go to the server console and the show

  /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd restart

  .  Then I can connect again, but only for 20 seconds.

  For this reason, I can't manage my server, for example a range of gradients or the configuration of a new table, without having to reboot the host, which is an unacceptable solution.

  If I have a ssh connection open to the server when the frame falls down, I get a few terminals output.  It is:

  A google search revealed by train

  export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

  but that has not solved the problem.

  Can someone point me to a solution?  I can't imagine that it is a new show, while everyone else is doing when they need to rebuild a table?

  Thank you!

  CIM LSI modules should be in the standard installation of ESXi. They will give you basic followed the vSphere client. Reconstruction of the tables would not be a part of that. I go back to ESXi 4.0 and try everything that is available for LSI specifically for ESXi. If the controller supports relief, you can simply add another drive.

  I don't know what can be available with the controller of the motherboard Supermicro (IPMI) but you can check this.

• LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager and Dell PERC cards?

  Hi all

  I have a Dell PERC 6 / i in my whitebox ESXi 4 server and I seem to be missing some options when connecting to it via the LSI MegaRAID 2.91 Storage Manager - 05. Basically, it seems the only operation I can do is take the disks offline. I have no option to create tables, add/remove disks in bays or change RAID levels.

  I can do all these things from the BIOS, this is obviously not the card. I had a glance the BIOS if it was something in TeleManagement prevents there but could not see anything, and I was wondering if these limitations due to a cut the officer of management in ESXi or something? If not, what could be causing the problem? When I log in MSM I use the account root on ESXi and MSM reports that I have full access.  As it is MSM is not very good for anything other than general information about my disks, card and backup battery.

  When I log in MSM I use the account root on ESXi and MSM reports that I have full access. As it is MSM is not very good for anything other than general information about my disks, card and backup battery.

  Have you installed the OEM ESXi version for Dell machines, or just a generic of VM Ware?  If you install ESX (with console) you can then install OM, and will give you the access you want.  You can manage all of this on the web.  Otherwise ESXi is limited, and it is a known issue.

  Have you tried to discuss with Dell?

• How to compare premises, iSCSI and storage NFS for VMware ESXi 5 with IO Analyzer?

  Hello

  I have 2 hosts ESXi 5.0 with a few virtual machines running. I would compare the IO throughput for my local storage, iSCSI and NFS vmware storage store. Can someone point me to the right direction? I read the documents and tutorials, but I'm not sure how to compare tests from these 3 options.

  I have a need to compare the following storage options.

  Local disk on the ESX host

  iSCSI on QNAP NAS device

  iSCSI on EMC e 3100

  NFS on QNAP NAS device

  NFS on EMC e 3100

  IOmeter seems to be good tool based on reading, but still not clear where to make changes to pass tests of storage to another.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sam

  If you use IO monitor, then you must simply vmotion the VMS to the data store for the device you want to test, and then run the test (and Records results).  Can vmotion for the following data store and repeat.

• PRSM and CDA on management of VMware Esxi 5.5

  Hello

  PRSM and CDA is currently supported to run on ESXi 5.0. Does anyone know if these will be available to run on Esxi 5.5 anytime soon?

  The guides say ESXi 5.0; but I installed both and have them works fine on an ESXi environment 5.5.

  I doubt you will see any significant development on PRSM given emphasis on solutions that focus on the power of fire. We COULD see an incremental version officially supported update - that is more a question of a validation of tests than any real product development.

  This is my opinion on the matter - mind only since Cisco does not generally to the roadmap plans public release.

• Reference Dell R710 - ESX5.1 Server Admin 7.4 storage management alerts

  Greetings, I've been deployment OMSA 7.4 VIB to my Dell ESX5.1 host using successfully manage the update. However, all of my Dell R710s servers) report a warning in the Console Essentials OpenManage under the information Section of Agent software for the following: - Server (storage management) administrator - VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-1065491 no further information is provided in addition to the version of the agent, the description, and manufacturing. Also, under this article the iDRAC6 shows as a "?" but the version of the agent and the description as well the listing agent. This could be linked to the fact that, under the CARS, section reports on RAC connection state as OFF. Step additional needed to get these warnings are resolved? See you soon

  You must configure two separate groups, I have one of MGMT (iDRAC) and another for the hosts, both being discovered using WS - MAN, because as you say they have different passwords, our names are the same.

  I hope this might set you on the right track.

• LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i for vmware vsa

  Hello world

  I have a hardware vendor build 3 5.1 production esxi hosts based on Asus RS700-E7 with 32 GB of ram each.

  They will support up to 24 vm in an environment of low IOPS / s.

  They will run the VSA for vmware appliance in raid 10 on the sata drives.

  The seller offers the LSI 9260-4i Megarid. I'm not sure.

  What LSI Megaraid controller recommended by those who have used them in the past for vmware VSA?

  I am also looking at the LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i. Whichever is faster on vsa for vmware using WD drives and raid 10.

  I use 4 drives per host, so I'm also cureous why some people use 8i controllers.

  Thanks in advance.

  I actually went with SAS 15 k drives in raid 5. I already answered my own question on the raid controller, so I'll mark this as answered. Thank you.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• Why VMWare ESXi 5 slow down access to IBM M1015 / LSI 9240-8i RAID?

  I build servers for virtualization and wanted to go with VMWare ESXi 5. I configured RAID10 on 4 discs attached to the IBM M1015 internal RAID controller (similar to LSI 9240-8i) and installed ESXi without any problem. Only problem is that copying data to the data store (on the RAID array) on the host is slow - about 20 MB/s. And I get about the same speed when you try to copy data to a shared folder on the guest virtual machine. The host network is auto-négociée with switch 1000Mbit 1000Full and I used vmxnet3 vm card in the guest computer.

  When I install MS Hyper-V on the same exact server with the exact same table RAID10 I get around 110 MB/s speed to copy data to the Hyper-V host.

  I used the latest drivers available for each system:

  ESXi 5 - LSI_5_34-455140.zip\scsi-megaraid-sas-5.34-1vmw.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib

  Windows - 5.2.112

  I have even updated the firmware card 20.10.1 - 0077.

  This card is entry level but recommended on different places for ESXi. What I am doing wrong? Am I missing something?

  Thank you

  As I mentioned earlier, ESXi does not have caching at the level of the BONE, unlike HyperV.

• Problems with LSI MegaRaid 9260-8i and ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  It's my first dappled in virtualization and got everything works pretty well for me except for one thing: esxi 4.1 does not allow me to use all the storage I allocated on my table of RAID5 on my LSI MegaRaid 9260-8i card. When I go in the vSphere client and try to create a data store, it recognizes the 2.73 TB logical drive except when it creates it is only 739,5 GB in size. Am I missing something here? I can't expand it, and it doesn't seem to be running from one of the physical disks, I have attached a few screenshots to illustrate the problem.

  Thanks for any help in advance!

  You create scopes of 2T and assemble them.

  I had to do this:

  localhost > /c4 set autocarve = on

  localhost > / c4 add type = disk = 0-3 name = RAID0 raid0

  localhost > / c4/u0 show

  Unit status % RCmpl %V/I/M VPort UnitType band Size (GB)
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  U0 RAID-0 OK - 256K 5587.89
  U0-0 DISK OK - p0 - 1396.97
  U0-1 DISK OK - p1 - 1396.97
  U0-2 DISK OK - p2 - 1396.97
  U0-3 DISK OK - p3 - 1396.97
  U0/v0 Volume - 2048
  U0/v1 Volume - 2048
  U0/v2 Volume - 1491.89

  Then you can create the data store by using three volumes.  Create it with the first, and then increase with the other two.

• Cisco ISO Custom - VMWare ESXi 5.5 Upd 2 - VMware Update Manager still shows update 2 required

  Hi all

  I just updated one of my guests with the latest cisco image provided on the vmware website (Vmware-ESXi-5.5.0-2068190-custom-Cisco-5.5.2.3).  After the application as an upgrade of the host and then doing a scan against the host in the Update Manager, it shows that ESXi complete update 2 is missing?

  I know this is maybe more a problem of vmware, but wanted to see if someone had run into this?

  This thank you for the quick response.

• IP address of management VMWare ESXi 4.0.0 decline in traffic

  I have a new HP DL380 G6 server, install VMWare ESXi 4.0 with HP customizations, fresh and is having trouble with the IP address of management only.

  This server has 4 NETWORK ports in it, and initially tried to add all 4 ports shared resources to ESXi. But then I ran into problems with the vSphere Client and he loses communication with the ESXi server. So, I tried to set up just 1 NIC port dedicated to the management with no network VLAN. It has a static IP address. I tried swapping network cables, check the switch port settings, etc..

  Funny is that the machine on that host virtual all work very well and respond well to network traffic.

  Also, I tried to update the firmware on the HP and NIC server without any change in improving. I lose about 40% of the traffic on the ip address of management and some problems when I need to manage this server. Yet once the VM seems to work well. If I reset the management interface to the management of the t server comes back and starts to work immediately. But, given a short while she appears to hang for 5 minutes and then starts working again.

  Any suggestions?

  I think that there is some confusion on the wording.

  When you talk about "Routing" on a HP Procurve, actually in comparison "Etherchannel" on a Cisco switch. And when you speak of a 'trunk' port on a Cisco switch, it is called a 'marked port' on the Procurve software.

  From what you write, I assume you are using a Procurve and created a trunk for aggregation of links. In this case, you will need to define the strategy of virtual switch to "Route based on the IP hash" as already mentioned AndreTheGiant.

  However, I would suggest leave you politics vSwitch failing "Route based on the virtual origin of switch port code" and set the physical switch ports 'labelled' (or 'trunk' for Cisco). In this way, you can configure them VLAN on groups of virtual ports and uplinks attached to this vSwitch are affected alternating.
