MD3220i - install the drivers 'to host' on ESXi hosts

We bought a MD3220i to use as shared to our vmware datacenter storage.

I'm a little confused by the documentation...

She says that she needs to host software installed on each host that connects to the MD3220i and the software grouped: the driver agent and multiple paths to storage. And that any host servers that connect to the storage array need.

Without doubt, this also includes ESXi hosts?  If so - how do install on ESXi hosts?

Or I completely understood you something here...

Advice would be appreciated,

S.

You have no software special 'host' because all the parts needed is already bundled with vsphere ESX (i). The essential parts are to check if the right HOME is used and that configure you the initiator of swiscsi in the right way. In terms of vsphere4 you need some Voodoo (remote control) command line to use esxcli to bind the VMKs created together.

Reference Dell have a best practice on how to connect the md32x0i to vsphere which has been found at the momemt. The guide shows the ip network configuration and all the necessary parts in vsphere. Dell uses a subnet of grand for all ports of 2 controllers. If you are looking for in this forum you will also find configurations where a single subnets are used to place a port for each controller. The two works configuration but I do face "LUN is not on preferred path" errors from time to time during the use of the first installation.

If you call technical support Dell will send you the necessary guide but I do not know google can help as well. Its like for many other iscsi bays and rules applied (several VMKs, binding, etc.). If you can't find something I can dig in my Inbox if necessary.

Edit:

OK... after a google search hard that I found the former guide who use a single subnet, but the guide describes the installation with different subnets. Then you should follow this path. Take a look at http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/md-family-deployment-guide.pdf

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 e-N911a: Installation error 2147467259: can't find driver packages to deal with when installing the drivers

    I had to reinsall Windows 7 (64-bit) and am trying to install the drivers.  I first tried the latest driver, but there was an error of installation, so I tried the base driver and the same error came.  I ran a disk check and its not finding the problems of difficulty.  Any suggestions?

    I found the problem finally.  HP requires you to have your registry database, set Program Files directory on your C: drive.  After I re-installed windows because I don't want things to my SSD, I've changed the default value.  It is a ridiculous failure in HP software.

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Elitebook 840 G3 clean install of Windows 8.1 - how to install the drivers?

    I bought my laptop working from a former employer, provided that the disk was completely wiped out (no recovery partition or whatever it is) and so I need to do a full clean install.

    I installed Windows 8.1 successfully for an external USB DVD. The system starts, but device drivers are missing, including wireless and wired networks.

    On the website of HP, I downloaded the device drivers for this machine/operating system combination. These downloaded files are .exe files. I put them on a USB key so that I can transfer them to the laptop. I thought I'd install them as follows:

    In the windows Device Manager, identify the network device, right click, select "install driver", point windows in the directory containing the .exe files downloaded.

    It does not work. Windows does not recognize the files .exe as pilots.

    Q1: I'm supposed to perform each of these .exe files (IE, which will install the drivers, and windows will then they are present?

    Q2: Which of the 2.3GBytes drivers should I install? If I install the network drivers Windows will be able to "search the Internet" and find all the other missing drivers?

    Q3: Is it possible to get an OEM installation disc that makes the entire process less painful?

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

  • I can't install the drivers in Windows 8

    I installed Windows 8 Developer preview but I can't install the drivers, even in compatibility mode. They were fully compatible with Windows 7. It's really disturbing, because I can not connect to the Internet and to develop applications.

    From the download page:

    The Developer Preview of Windows is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers. These downloads include beta software that may change without notice. The software is provided as is, and bear you the risk of using it. It may not be stable, work properly or work the way that the final version of the software will be. It should not be used in a production environment.

    Given that Windows 8 has not been released yet not all drivers will work with him. Some drivers are very precise on the version of operating system, you may need to wait until the manufacturer releases Windows 8 drivers (if they make it to your model).

    If the compatibility mode option does not work, some drivers may be available by using Windows Update.

    Troubleshoot Compatibility
    This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:
    (1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.
    (2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.
    (3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs are perhaps not able to run in Windows 8.
