• Reference Dell EqualLogic Multipath (e/s high flow)

  We recently bought a Dell EqualLogic SAN. Our main goal for this device was to begin to use pools of resources and be able to do a few HA and Live migration. We have worked with XenServer and Xen Cloud for a while and got no e/s on iScsi performance we were hoping for. With the help of Multipath on the main host machine we get on 250 Mbps (which we are satisfied). On the guest computers, we get only 120 Mbps.

  My question to the community of VMWare; If we wanted to use products VMWare is the possibility to get more then 1 Gbps i/o throughput on a guest PC? And if so, if it is a PDF or a post somewhere that could explain how to do this?

  Let me know, thanks!

  The doc of the correct configuration is attached... hope that her little help. In my view, it is also sub TR docs when you save your table PS.

• Module Extension of Multipathing EqualLogic for VMware vSphere 5 Std.

  Hi all

  Can install EqualLogic Multipathing plug-in for VMware with vSphere 5.0 STD license?

  Thank you.

  The file PDF of Dell is indeed the case - you must be at least vSphere Enterprise in order to use any third party Multipathing module (such as Dell MEM, EMC PowerPath/VE, etc.).

  See the link depending on which compares the features available in each edition of vSphere.  The feature that we are talking about here is called 'Storage API for Multipathing' and only in Enterprise and Enterprise Plus:

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  You can still use the native multipathing in vSphere, but unless you upgrade to Enterprise you will not be able to use the MEM.

  I hope this helps.

• 3 Dell Equallogic PS6010

  Hello

  I have 3 Dell Equallogic PS6010 Raid 6 accelerated what is the optimal configuration for performance and reliability. Should I put all members in the same pool with some volumes? using this configuration what happens if one of the members die in the pool volumes will still be online? Or do I have to create a separate pool for each Member and syncrep everywhere?

  Thank you!

  Hello Quackattack,

  If you have several members in the same pool, then default data for each volume to be spread out in the members.  Up to three by default, unless the volume is too large to fit on only three members.

  So in the case of Member failure, all volumes in common with this member will go offline until the table is restored to service.  Members in the same pool work together so that will give you the best performance, but at a greater risk.  The berries are extremely redundant to prevent this.  Also, members in a pool even with permutation of the blocks to keep the I/O latency to the balance between the members.  If a member with a lot of IO will send blocks occupied another Member and take blocks of slow motion of this member.  Keeping the latency in space and tick as well balanced.   It's advanced performance load balancing.

  But if this is a priority, then put them in separate categories would be better.  You would have to manually manage IO loads to prevent a pool being saturated, while others might be slowed by comparison.

  You can also do a combo.  Put two members in a pool, then someone else in another to the syncrep on your volumes. Giving you a balance between too.

  Much depends on the load that you expect to apply to the group.  In addition, if you can levarge improvements EQL MPIO, like MEM for ESXi, HIT / THE for Linux or HIT / ME to Windows.

  If you use ESXi, VMware requires also to company or company + to run MPIO extensions like MEM.  If you cannot use MEM, then this PDF has info on how to improve fuction MPIO using VMware standard Round Robin.  As well as other tips as well.

  If you haven't already done so, install SANHQ v3.x to better monitor your group (s).

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade 5.1 in a Dell EqualLogic environment?

  Hi all, I am planning to upgrade our guests ESXi4.1 U1 to ESXi 5.1 Dell R610.  We use a PS6100E EqualLogic via iSCSI.  I installed 5.1 vCenter and prepared Update Manager with the image of Dell Custom ESXi 5.1, thinking that it would contain all the necessary drivers/modules.  However, after analysis of my ESXi hosts, I get the following caveat (see attachment).  Anyone has done an upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1 in a Dell EqualLogic environment?  I'm not warm and fuzzy about the procedure taking into account the warning.  Thank you!

  

  Hello

  There is no requirement for reconfiguration of re - install MEM after the upgrade.  It lies on the existing configuration as before.

  My personal preference is to uninstall 3rd party before the upgrade applications to make the cleaner process.  I don't know problem to upgrade to 1.1.2 and then the ESX upgrade, I have not tried it personally.

  If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  • If you have many extensions then first turn on half of test extensions that half the problem.
  • Continue to divide the bad half that still has the question until you find that one is causing it.

• Reference Dell EqualLogic 6010 initial configuration

  Hello. I have a dust collection Dell EqualLogic 6010 in my test harness. He was sent by another office, for reasons unknown. I would use this feature to unload a few backup copies of vm in the development of our san to this device of 16 smaller disk.  I only have one switch that comes with it, but for its intended use, this should be good. I only will link a physical server to it where my backup software. (I wish I could just direct connect, but I read that it is not possible, or at least not recommended) The problem is... I don't know where to start.

  I tried to put in place of guides, manuals and Setup guides, but the single pdf I find is more on limits, best practices, what he can do, etc., rather than from step 1. (like, indications which include the implementation of rails and all that usually skip us... lol) Can anyone help with a quick course guide or accident? Maybe point me in the direction of certain documents?

  For example... series in I do? If so, what are the default creds? There may be a default ip address that I can connect my laptop in to start the initial game up? Or y at - it a config that I can run on the same subnet as EMC VNX implemented who will find unconfigured devices? I really can't find any of this set up information of this device. I hope someone can help.

  Thank you very much. :)

  Hello

  You have a username on the EQL support site?   The documentation is a quick installation guide.

  1.), you can use the serial port.  9600,8, n, 1 NO flowcontrol.   (Series cisco cables do not work)   Grpadmin default login, password grpadmin. (assuming that it has not already been implemented)

  2.) If you have an EQL support account, you can also download the HIT for Windows or Linux.   Who has the Remote Installation Wizard software.  Who will scan the local subnet for the not configured matrices.  Then allow you to configure it through the user interface.

  Re: switches.  You need a 10GbE switch.  The 6010 will not negotiate until 1GbE.

• Range Dell EqualLogic has stopped working when you restart the failure

  During and after an interruption of scheduled maintenance work, ESXi cannot mount on our Dell EqualLogic Array data warehouses and I have no idea why.

  We lack ESXi 5.0.  Shut down us throughout the weekend, replaced the network cables and when we returned to our ESXi hosts could not see the Bay EqualLogic iSCSI, but you could see several other berries on the same storage system iSCSI.  Digging into logs, I see the ESXi host making the CHAP authentication to the EqualLogic Bay, and the said table it connects successfully, then it loses connection about 10 seconds later.  10 seconds more ESXi tent reconnection to the EqualLogic and the same thing is happening again.

  I see several newspapers in ESXi hostd.log indicating this table goes ONLINE and off LINE and another line indicating "sense data Possible" leading me to http://KB.VMware.com/kb/289902 .  I feel really disabled at the moment because it's the Bay of storage accommodation our vCenter Server, which puts us in trouble right now.

  Also, if I try to "Add Storage", ESXi sees EqualLogic stores exist (watch a sufficient volume, size etc.).  However, as I'm trying to add them (via vSphere Client), step 1 takes a lot of time to finish, step 2 indicates the "disks are empty" (which I don't believe), then after an another long this timeout a popup error.

  Are there commands or utilities that are good for the diagnosis of iSCSI specifically?

  I can post more specific journal details if it is useful.

  PS - The new network cables are ok in communication with other storage targets, and it has not replaced the EqualLogic cables.

  Fixed; the MTU setting on my storage switch was mowing part of storage traffic.  Here are the troubleshooting steps that I went through, maybe it'll help someone else.  The solution didn't exactly have anything specific to do with ESXi or EqualLogic.  Basic troubleshooting and digging.

  Newspapers/events storage array inspection revealed he saw and accepted the ESXi host connection appempts.  I saw messages to the effect of:

  -Connection of ESXi iqn blah blah blah established; Successful CHAP authentication.

  -10 seconds later: Connection reset / abandoned by peers.

  -5 seconds later: ESXi connection successfully established...

  (rinse and repeat several times)

  Inspection of the file hostd.log ESXi showed several messages of 'connection reset by peer '.  The storage array and ESXi have been pointing to the other... so the switch is the only thing in the middle.

  Troubleshooting steps now:

  -using the vmkping ping on the table of the ESXi - success: vmkping 192.168.1.20

  -using the vmkping ping on the table of the ESXi with a size of 9000 (jumbo frame size): NO RESPONSE! : (vmkping) s 9000 192.168.100.20<-- this="" is="" where="" the="" money="" was="" for="" finding="" the="">

  MTU has been set at around 9000.  It turns out that the switch should be set a little higher (taking into account headers of packets? who knew)

  So this Setup ran for more than a year of intact working and just stopped when we took everything downstairs and brought it up.

• Error adding array manager - VSphere 4, 4 SRM and Dell Equallogic

  I have built a new VSphere 4 of 2003 server and that you have installed SRM on it with one of Dell Equallogic SAN.  I'm point table configuration manager.  After I enter the information, then click on connect, I get the following error:

  Error occurred: XML Document is Empty

  I tried to run the installer with the repair option again and removed and added the SRA with no luck.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Just treat it today.  The plugin storage Dell is written in Java, so your Java executable needs to be in the path.  RDP on your SRM server and open a commandprompt.  If you can not simply run "Java.exe", you will have this problem.

  I just do a fresh install of the latest Sun JRE and then it worked fine.

• Dell Equallogic PS5000X NIC reference

  Hello

  does anyone have experience of SAN Dell Equallogic PS5000X?  I'll put in place at the moment and it seems there are 2 controllers for all of the 3 NIC (6 in total).  I find I cannot use 3 cards and 1 controller in Active mode and can not find a way to get the two controllers to work in unison and the two assets.

  I wanted to use 4 network cards for iSCSI traffic on a VLAN giving a rate 4 GB of storage but you can use 2 network cards, giving a throughput of 2 GB and 1 for management.

  Is this the only method available for this type of SAN?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Andy

  Hey,.

  The PS is an active / standby. A controller is active. The other will be the shot if the first of all a problem. You have only a configuration to do.

  You configure 3 interfaces in the GUI. eth0, 1, 2.

  The second controller will use this interface when you need.

  You can dedicate a management port, but Dell recommends that you connect all of your ports to the ISCSI network.

  Hope this helps

• EqualLogic Multipathing plug-in - issues with linking using setup.pl

  I get this error when I try to get the Module of Extension Multipathing EqualLogic to configure my ESXi 4.1 box.

  Could not bind vmk1 one iSCSI adapters.

  I have a Dell M710 server. There the Broadcom 57711 NIC with load HBAs iSCSI hardware.

  Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

  Installed ESXi 4.1 on host M710

  ESXi host configured with a password

  ESXi host configured with the IP address settings

  Connected to my vMA host (who has a local copy of the DELL-eql-mem - 1.0.0.130413)

  vifp addserver 192.168.110.63

  vifptarget s 192.168.110.63

  ./Setup.pl--installation--server = 192.168.110.63 - bundle = dell-eql-mem - 1.0.0.130413.zip

  I then reboot the ESXi host

  Once restarted

  vifptarget s 192.168.110.63

  ./Setup.pl--configure--serveur = 192.168.110.63 - vswitch = vSwitchISCSI - mtu = 1500 - NIC = vmnic6 - ips = 192.168.102.98 - subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 - vmkernel iSCSI - groupip = 192.168.102.40 =

  Then, it produces the following output:

  Network iSCSI Multipathing configuration:

  vswitch = vSwitchISCSI

  MTU = 1500

  NIC = vmnic6

  IPS = 192.168.102.98

  subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

  VMkernel = iSCSI

  EQL group IP = 192.168.102.40

  Creation vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

  Definition of vSwitch MTU to 1500.

  Creating portgroup iSCSI0 on vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

  192.168.102.98 to iSCSI0 IP address assignment.

  Create a new bridge.

  The addition of link rising vmnic6 to vSwitchISCSI.

  The definition of new uplinks for vSwitchISCSI.

  Definition of uplink for iSCSI0 on vmnic6.

  Could not bind vmk1 one iSCSI adapters.

  Argh

  So I use the vSphere Client to remove the switch, he created (and vmk etc ports)

  I then try again, this time with software instead of hardware iSCSI iSCSI

  ./Setup.pl--configure--serveur = 192.168.110.63 - vswitch = vSwitchISCSI - mtu = 1500 - NIC = vmnic6 - ips = 192.168.102.98 - subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 - vmkernel iSCSI - nohwiscsi - enableswiscsi - groupip = 192.168.102.40 =

  Which produces the following output:

  Network iSCSI Multipathing configuration:

  vswitch = vSwitchISCSI

  MTU = 1500

  NIC = vmnic6

  IPS = 192.168.102.98

  subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

  VMkernel = iSCSI

  enableswiscsi = 1

  nohwiscsi = 1

  EQL group IP = 192.168.102.40

  Creation vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

  Definition of vSwitch MTU to 1500.

  Creating portgroup iSCSI0 on vSwitchISCSI vSwitch.

  192.168.102.98 to iSCSI0 IP address assignment.

  Create a new bridge.

  The addition of link rising vmnic6 to vSwitchISCSI.

  The definition of new uplinks for vSwitchISCSI.

  Definition of uplink for iSCSI0 on vmnic6.

  Activation of initiator SW.

  Permit SW initiator.

  Could not bind vmk1 one iSCSI adapters.

  Ugh once again.

  What I'm missing here? The commands that I use to setup.pl are actually given to me by setup.pl when I use the option - command sets:

  ./Setup.pl--configure--server = 192.168.110.63

  It has a nice Wizard that you ask all the questions, then tells you what is the actual command to use.

  I know that my steps using only 1 network card but I started using 2 network adapters and 2 IP addresses but it gave me the same error. For troubleshooting purposes, I decided to use only 1 network card and 1 IP to test. I also tried vmnic7 instead of vmnic6 with a different IP address but no luck.

  I tried a fresh install of ESXi twice.

  A huge 10 points to someone who can solve my problem

  VCP3 & VCP4 32846

  VSP4

  VTSP4

  Updated the commands I used wrong vifp instead of vifptarget, the problem still exists, but tried to fix this error.

  Box293,

  Which, in my opinion, happened is that vmk1 is already bound to something, the iSCSI Software card or hardware iSCSI adapter, possible earlier attempts or possible to have the classic configuration path fixed on this server - less certain on this second possibility.

  Deleting a key vmk from the GUI does not cancel the bindings, this must be done from the CLI with the command 'esxcli swisici '.

  esxcli swiscsi nic list d vmhba37 # lists all interconnect them related to hardware/software iSCSI card

  esxcli swiscsi nic remove - n vmk1 d vmhba37 # this will remove the binding vmk1

  Do these steps should help you clean any link you have.

  A lazy way to clean the link would be to re - install ESXi

  I hope this helps.
