Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

My hardware:

I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

My Situation:

I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

Help with the data store and network:

I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

  • What is the 'Live' page and need help with the data merge

    Hello

    Im very new to indesign naked with me. Im trying to merge data (need to create a fusion template?) and what I understand is that I need to be on the page 'Live '. Someone on the forum suggested this...

    There are two ways to set up the model of fusion. You can put your placholders on the master page or on the live page. If the placehlders are on the master page, only the frame (s) with placeholders, as well as other grouped objects, will be duplicated. On the live page, ID will try to duplictate EVERYTHING on the page, so you must be very careful about installation and sizing of objects.

    I want to be on the LIVE page... How can I do this? Got any other sort but can't get several records for the life of me to come.

    Thank you for your help adavance

    It is the opposite of multiple records per page. Make x copies of a single record on a page, put x sets of organized placeholders as you want on the page. A good way to do it is with Edit > step and repeat after you set up the left superior set. Now merge as one record per page.

  • Need help with the earpiece of video events complete and twinkle in Web site button

    Hello.

    I'm building my first site flash on AS3 and I'm having some problems that I can't solve.

    Question No. 1:

    I have a video that plays on a page (frame) and want to go to the next page after the video is finished. It's pretty easy... I did a search for information and came to the top with something in the sense of (written in memory):

    instance.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, instancecomplete);


    function instancecomplete(event:Event):void {}

    gotoAndStop (3)
    }

    And it worked fine when the page loaded initially (it was the homepage), but after he moved to the next page, I clicked the button which takes back me to the homepage and what might happen is that the video would play for about 1 second and send me back to the next page. My assumption is that what is happening is in loading, the event listener is to see that the video does not play, assuming that it is finished, and it takes me to the next page. If this is true, is there a way to delay the eventlistener?

    Question 2:

    The buttons on my page of sparkle. I read on this topic, and I apparently it's because I'm on a mac. I checked on a PC and the flicker isn't here so it must be because im on a mac. On a forum I found the following line to fix it:

    btnHome_mc.buttonMode = true;

    The problem is... I never wrote this line, and if it is a code generated automatically, I can't find it in the scripts of action... so I'm stumped. Any help?

    I don't know what to say without seeing the code.

    Try to remove the listener:

    function onComplete(e:VideoEvent):void {}

    instance.removeEventListener (VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onComplete);

    }

    Hello need help with the opacity mask. I hope someone out there can help

    I inherited a logo that appears to use a Logo of OM has a shape with a grad. This grad at first sight is not used in the Grad scheme and there is not editable.  Looking at the transparency palette I find an OM (pic1) output option. If I choose what the grad on separates it from the page of the form, that is from there I can change/remove as required (Note2).

    However, sometimes (he did no change), I'll be back to the same original form and output option is grayed out and is no longer available. Or I go to the similar shape that has the same treatment and I can't go out OM (pic3)

    The only difference is the thumbnail in the transparency palette, which is strong in pic1 and rated on pic3. What Miss me?    I'm not clear what the advantage is simply OM using the Grad palette to apply a grad in my form, but until I can get rid of OM who is there, I can't comfortably apply to the grad I want.

    The white gradient LHS I have no problem with. I choose fortunately only and each time get the possibility of release of OM.

    The other thing weird. When I select the white gradient. Sometimes, the exit option is in the palette without going through the drop-down list (Fig 4).

    Other times seems not that OM has already been applied, because the palette gives me the ability to mask rather than liberation (5 photos). Until I go to the drop down and then I find Release is an option after all.

    What is the difference here?   Not much of a problem, because either way I can release OM to be able to change the grad.

    The file is passed through several hands and play anywhere to try to resolve issues, and many stops and save slot, so something along the line was of course done a logo and not the other because of the difference, but I can't for the life of me see what that.

    Dave,

    I've (mis) understanding the issues, you can account for the box to the right in the main palette transparency (called thumbnail) here.

    represents the masking objects.

    Some of your screenshots show no object mask, so it only is not really a mask even if do the opacity mask has been clicked and there seems to be one in the layers palette, wherever you look.

    I think that it is perhaps the issue.
