• PowerVault MD3420 support for vSphere, Esxi 6.0 6.0?

  Hello

  We ordered 4 R730 servers "nine" with 12Gbps SAS and a SAN MD3420 cards. ESXi hosts are preinstalled with ESXi version 6.

  Once we have installed 40 VMs on that, we now see that after a reboot, the HBA does not detect the LUNS. Only after the adapter cables HBA and their reversal, it detects the. Also in the selection of the HBA path I see all the options like "round robin" etc.

  When I check the site of VMware, it looks all DELL powervault MD32xx/MD34xx without DOING to support ESXI 6.0, with the exception of the MD3420! I checked it before and are beginning to doubt myself / or if the compatibility on the Web site has changed.

  http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=san&productid=36288&deviceCategory=san&details=1&partner=23&arrayTypes=4&isSVA=0&page=1&display_interval=10&sortColumn=Partner&sortOrder=Asc

  Is there a driver or updated to be less expected the first weeks, or should I start without downgrading all my VMs and esxi hosts to version 5.5? It's really a shortcoming that I think that the package came with preinstalled 6.0.

  Best regards

  I found the solution by installing another driver in the list of lsi, and then disable the native driver.

  The appropriate driver is not in the image of DELL ESXi 6.0 A00.

  In short, all this on each host:

  [root@*:~] software esxcli vib install v - /vmfs/volumes/DS_SAN_DG2VD1/ISO/scsi-mpt3sas_10.00.00.00-1OEM.600.0.0.2494585.vib

• Dell PowerVault MD3600i validation error - unable to update firmware - Data:

  Hello

  I have the following problem when trying to upgrade the firmware version of 07.84.44.60 to 07.84.47.60 on my Dell PowerVault MD3600i.

  Assistant firmware upgrade RAID controller module reports the following error

  • Data validation error: the storage Bay cannot be updated one or more host entries in the Module of the RAID 0 controller did not match those of the RAID 1 Controller Module. To resolve this issue, contact a technical support representative.

  Can not find any similar problem on the net, if anyone here can help me please

  There are a few things you can try. If you have configured multiple paths you can remove one of the controllers, wait 5 minutes and then put it back and try to do the update. Or you can try to clear the log of events and then update the Firmware.

  Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions or concerns.

• How could I connect a DELL PowerVault MD3200 as extension of nested a DELL PowerVault MD3200.

  I wonder if it is possible to connect a DELL PowerVault MD3200 as extension of nested a DELL PowerVault MD3200. If it is possible how I could do (wiring only?)?

  Unfortunately this is not a configuration supported because you cannot connect to a controller module raid with another raid controller module... You must use a MD1200 behind the MD3200.

• iSCSI and Fibre Channel on the Dell PowerVault MD3000 SAN shaerd with 2 physical servers

  Hi all

  I'm doing new virtualization technologies work in my office for assistance:

  2 x Dell PowerEDGE 2950 III each installed with iSCSI next accessing the SAN controller

  1 x Dell PowerVault MD3000 (10 x 300 GB 15 k rpm SAS)

  The

  VMWare ESXi is installed in an internal USB to load 4 x virtual machines which is

  under SOLARIS (using project, houses, SAMBA file server and)

  Source code repository and compile the source code of the project Build

  Server too.)

  5 x Windows Server 2003 which perform as Apache Tomcat application server.

  And

  I wonder if it has performance benefits in the application of the

  Shared SAN for these two physical server via iSCSI in contrast with

  Fiber Channel.

  I am aware that CF is faster and more expensive, but in this case, I won t run a VM with DB server on it.

  must

  I enter the path to have iSCSI or stick with the given FC

  the SAN runs on 15 k rpm SAS used by 2 ESXi server.

  Please let us know of a reflection regarding this configuration.

  Thank you

  Usually, you take NIC 1 gb connections available on your host and configure them as such.

  2 network cards go to the San, most of the time that it is actually two networks with different subnets.

  1 network card next LAN

  1 network card for the management

  We only use three network cards currently on our guests, 2 for San and the other for management and lan. We use two switches dedicated to dedicated networks dual iSCSI san. This allows to easily add additional hosts in the future.

  You get to decide a bit, but the double san network is pretty much a given. You can do all this of course with the VLANs as well. We use the switches unmanaged yet in our Organization.

  PS: Passing path recommended is to have completely isolated storage of the LAN network / network of the user.

• Dell MD3620i connect to vmware - best practices

  Hello community,

  I bought a Dell MD3620i with 2 x ports Ethernet 10Gbase-T on each controller (2 x controllers).
  My vmware environment consists of 2 x ESXi hosts (each with 2ports x 1Gbase-T) and a HP Lefthand (also 1Gbase-T) storage. The switches I have are the Cisco3750 who have only 1Gbase-T Ethernet.
  I'll replace this HP storage with DELL storage.
  As I have never worked with stores of DELL, I need your help in answering my questions:

  1. What is the best practices to connect to vmware at the Dell MD3620i hosts?
  2. What is the process to create a LUN?
  3. can I create more LUNS on a single disk group? or is the best practice to create a LUN on a group?
  4. how to configure iSCSI 10GBase-T working on the 1 Gbit/s switch ports?
  5 is the best practice to connect the Dell MD3620i directly to vmware without switch hosts?
  6. the old iscsi on HP storage is in another network, I can do vmotion to move all the VMS in an iSCSI network to another, and then change the IP addresses iSCSI on vmware virtual machines uninterrupted hosts?
  7. can I combine the two iSCSI ports to an interface of 2 Gbps to conenct to the switch? I use two switches, so I want to connect each controller to each switch limit their interfaces to 2 Gbps. My Question is, would be controller switched to another controller if the Ethernet link is located on the switch? (in which case a single reboot switch)

  Tahnks in advanse!

  Basics of TCP/IP: a computer cannot connect to 2 different networks (isolated) (e.g. 2 directly attached the cables between the server and an iSCSI port SAN) who share the same subnet.

  The corruption of data is very likely if you share the same vlan for iSCSI, however, performance and overall reliability would be affected.

  With a MD3620i, here are some configuration scenarios using the factory default subnets (and for DAS configurations I have added 4 additional subnets):

  Single switch (not recommended because the switch becomes your single point of failure):

  Controller 0:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110

  Server 2:

  All ports plug 1 switch (obviously).

  If you only want to use the 2 NICs for iSCSI, have new server 1 Server subnet 130 and 131 and the use of the server 2 132 and 133, 3 then uses 130 and 131. This distributes the load of the e/s between the ports of iSCSI on the SAN.

  Two switches (a VLAN for all iSCSI ports on this switch if):

  NOTE: Do NOT link switches together. This avoids problems that occur on a switch does not affect the other switch.

  Controller 0:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> to switch 2

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102-> to switch 2

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110-> to switch 2

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110-> to switch 2

  Server 2:

  Same note on the use of only 2 cards per server for iSCSI. In this configuration each server will always use two switches so that a failure of the switch should not take down your server iSCSI connectivity.

  Quad switches (or 2 VLAN on each of the 2 switches above):

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> switch 3

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> at 4 switch

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102-> switch 3

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102-> at 4 switch

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110-> to switch 2

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110-> switch 3

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110-> at 4 switch

  Server 2:

  In this case using 2 NICs per server is the first server uses the first 2 switches and the second server uses the second series of switches.

  Join directly:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> server iSCSI NIC 1 (on an example of 192.168.130.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> server iSCSI NIC 2 (on an example of 192.168.131.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> server iSCSI NIC 3 (on an example of 192.168.132.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> server iSCSI NIC 4 (on an example of 192.168.133.110 IP)

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.134.102-> server iSCSI NIC 5 (on an example of 192.168.134.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.135.102-> server iSCSI NIC 6 (on an example of 192.168.135.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.136.102-> server iSCSI NIC 7 (on an example of 192.168.136.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.137.102-> server iSCSI NIC 8 (on an example of 192.168.137.110 IP)

  I left just 4 subnets controller 1 on the '102' IPs for more easy changing future.

• DELL PowerVault TL2000 by Ethernet?

  Hi all!

  Need advice how connet DELL PowerVault TL2000 for PowerEdge M1000e via Ethernet?

  Is this possible?

  If not what kind of s-module, we need?

  Hello maojan,

  With the TL2000 using ethernet, you need the iSCSI bridge for the TL2000.  Once you have the bridge installed in the TL2000 and configured, you can use iSCSI to connect your M1000 in the TL2000 via iSCSI. The only other way to connect to the TL2000 is via SAS or FC if you have FC disks.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• PowerConnect 6224: Dell SFP + port supports combine Dell SFP?

  I have a Dell Powerconnect 6224 switch and I installed a Dual Port SFP + Module of adaptation for PowerConnect
  6200 series at bay2 at the rear of the switch. I inserted a transceiver, SFP 1000BASE-LX, wavelength 1310nm 10km Reach in the SFP slot + and the other end is connected to a connector SFP 1gbe. I don't have any link. My question is if Dell SFP ports + supports SFP transceivers or it only supports SFP transceivers +?

  I checked the ports to help an SFP + SFP +, 10GbE, copper Direct Attach cable Twinaxial, and link LEDs are lighting up.

  I believe that the SFP ports + back work with SFP transceivers. Ports before combo will work with SFP transceivers. Another thing to look at is the cable being used. Don't forget that there are specifications that are compatible with transceivers FPS are you wanting to use. A SFP + SFP connection would require that the SFP transceiver + supports a connection of 1 GB.

  Hope this info helps.

• Is it possible to connect two DELL PowerVault MD3200 single PowerEdge R610 Rack Server

  We have the SQL cluster with two nodes (the two PowerEdge R610 Rack Server) connected to the DELL PowerVault MD3200. As we are short on space, the idea came to add additional DELL PowerVault MD3200 to the cluster. Is this possible?

  Hello, IPM.

  Yes, you can add an another MD3200 to your R610 server & get both to work.  As you run lack of space, you can also simply add a MD1200 if just needing space as the MD1200 is cheaper than a MD3200.  The MD1200 will connect via your MD3200 sas & can provide you with the additional disk space if that's what you're looking for.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Incompatibility of Configuration Dell PowerVault 220 s

  Recently, I experienced a power failure on a Dell PowerVault 775N server, which connected a PowerVault 220 s storage device. Once the power has been restored and restarted the server, I get a beep and an indication on the server there is a «Configuration of drives and the NVRAM shift (normal shift)»

  We suspect that the controller card may be bad.  Anyone could help the who may have a similar problem before the experiment and give directions with the resolution of this problem?

  What's still recoverable data?

  Thank you.

  Difference between in the PERC configuration and the configuration on the hard drives, a message is displayed at startup upward:

  "Configuration of the incompatibility of drives and the NVRAM. Run view/add configuration from the Configuration utility option. Press a button to run the Configuration utility. »

  The configuration of RAID arrays is stored in two places: the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) of the RAID controller and the hard disk. Following a power failure or configuration change, the configuration in NVRAM now differs from that on the hard drive. Perform the following steps to resolve the issue.

  Note: If at any time you are prompted to initialize the table, do not. Initialization destroys all data on the logical drive. During the initialization process, all data bits are changed to zero.

  1. Press any key to enter the Configuration utility.

  2. in the management Menu, select Configure.

  3. Select view/add Configuration.

  4. two options are present: view disk Configuration and NVRAM Configuration of display. Because the original configuration is stored on the hard disk, select the Disk Configuration view.

  5. check that the correct configuration for the RAID array is now displayed.

  6. press the ESC key. When you are prompted to save the configuration, select Yes.

  7. the configuration is stored in NVRAM on the RAID controller and matches the configuration on the hard disk. When you are prompted, press a key to continue.

  8. press ESC until you are asked to leave. Click Yes to exit.

  9. press on CTRL + ALT + DELETE to restart the computer. The server should now start normally.

  A note more:

  If you don't see not an overview of NVRAM, see option records, trying to erase the configuration...

  Unplug and power off of the PV220. Restart the PERC BIOS, make sure you're on the PERC external and clear configuration. Connect up to 220, power and restart the server, you should now get another set-match and should display disks.

  Hello people.

  We must change our Dell PowerVault LTO4-120 on a machine that could be a PC running Ubuntu or even a desktop apple computer running Mac os 10.4.

  The problem is, how would it be possible to get a driver that works?

  I know not how, but on Ubuntu, the pilot acknowledged in st0, but taken 32hours (!) to fill a bunch of 800 GB by using tar - cvf with a block size of 2048 k.

  Does anyone have an idea on the alternative drivers or something?
