NetApp FAS2040 space Distribution for vSphere 5

Hi all

I have a NetApp2040 with 8 (3 reserved for the root of aggr0) 300 GB internal drives and 1 shelf DS14 MK2 to tie with 14 hard drives of 250 GB. I have 2 5.1 vSphere hosts. What would be the best way to "split" the storage for servers? A combined, the two hosts can access via iSCSI or more than one aggregate? I have not a NFS for the NetApp for iSCSI license is my method of connection. All suggestions welcome. Thank you.

I'd be inclined to agree with vmroyale - I prefer an aggr to avoid extra parity and disk dparity losses. As long as your OnTAP argues that many discs (I don't remember 7.34 and older max/min values).

  • A few question for vsphere

    Hello

    I have a few question for vSphere

    1 > what kind of network, I'll use for my win xp VM destop (flexible, E1000, V...) What is the difference between that?

    2 > I give 5 or 4 GB memory for my VM (WIN 2003) servers, but a lot of time I can see alert the CPU usage or memory usage? ... Why then, can it be optimized, which will be the way?

    3 > if in 1 ESX I have 8 core (Processor) & I create 25 VM (win XP)... which gives 1 CPU each... then how it is possible to have 8 processor & distribution processor 25, what is the funda?

    Must be waiting for your reply.

    Thank you

    Rashid

    There is a selection list of the CPU (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) when creating VM, now my question is this amount of processor or number of processor?

    For example if I choose 5, then it means I selected 5 Fifth number of the processor or processors?

    This selection will be the number of vCPU, you give to your guests.  My suggestion would be to start with 1 vCPU and see how is the performance.

    Hello

    information about the release dates for vib for vSphere vsphere 6 (OMSA 7.4.1 / 8.0.1 / 8.0.2)

    Apart from that... OMSA 8 will continue in two different development branches for T630, R630, R730, R730xd and T430/R430/T530/R530/M630... or will it be a next single version for all serversystems of 13 G.

    Kind regards

    Torsten

    Toki76,

    Custom Dell ESXi ISO 6.0 came out 2 days ago. So I guess, from past experience, that the VIB is going to be released very soon behind him, but at the moment I do not see that he launched. I can research to see if I can refine the delivery date well and let you know.

    What about OMSA 8, probably a single version which includes the two branches.

  • who can help me with "insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA.

    Hello world

    We tried to gif a 14GB of ram and make server complete a booking for her.
    This is a server for the exams and the vendor told us to do.

    I can't any more then 5500MB reservation on it, when I anymore that I get
    "Insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA.

    We have:

    2 X 5.1 ESXi hosts
    Each host has
    2 x processors (8 Cores each) with HT active.
    255,75 GB of Ram

    vSphere HA has been activated.
    Admission control policy is enabled and that the ability to failover is 1 host.

    What is the problem here?

    Thank you
    Ernst.


    Admission control policy is all about to give you the kind of guarantee that if the host failure happens then there will be enough resources to perform the successful failover.

    in simple terms, it comes to reserve the resources of failover.

    I would recommend going through the notion of vSphere HA, reduced control policy the following document.

    https://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-60/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-60-availability-Guide.PDF

    From the Page number 22, the details that you need to study is given. Focus especially on part calculations Slot size of it.

    in your case you HA vSphere with number of failure of host to tolerate as admission control strategy defined.

    This means system will calculate CPU and memory slots out of the resources in your cluster, and the total number of units, it will keep some resources like reserved for failover, and others will be available to be used. It all depends on how much failure of hosts that you want to tolerate.

    now in your case, if you try to increase booking one of the virtual machine, which will then affect the number of locations in your environment, and so reserved ability to failover is violated, the system will not let you do what you want to do. As the energy on a virtual machine, or growing booking a powered VM etc..

    If you find that you have enough resources in your cluster and due to some virtual machines with very large cpu or memory reservation, number of places is less than you can still manage the settings some advanced in vSphere HA configuration, but I strongly recommend, try to take the help of someone who has done it before.

    also try to go through other admission control strategies which are explained in the document for more inputs.

  • vDS now comes with the NSX for vSphere

    Hello

    I found a few kb articles saying that we can use vDS on any edition of vSphere with the NSX.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2135310

    • If you are using VMware vSphere 5.5 update 3 or vSphere 6.0.x, NSX VMware vSphere 6.x does not require a license of vSphere Enterprise Plus and can run on any edition of vSphere.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1010555

    • Note: vDS is now delivered with NSX to vSphere (NSXv) and VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) in vSphere 6.0.


    I've implemented the vSphere environment with the standard license and NSX for vSphere with the license of the company.

    But I can't use vDS. If I can create new vDS on vCenter, I can't add hosts with standard license to a vDS.


    I used below products.


    • ESXi 6.0.0
    • vCSA 6.0.0.
    • NSX for vSphere 6.2.1


    Have someone at - he tried vSphere standard with NSX license ?

    If I could, might have some tips?

    Any kinds of comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Danne

    Thank you. In this case, I think you're right. I have not tried specifically because I rarely see Standard.

    Please open an SR for support can examine why this is happening. Sorry I can't be more help.

  • ESXi 5.1 - insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA

    Hi, I tried to understand why there are insufficient resources to supply an only little VM in my vSphere cluster.

    2 X 5.1 ESXi hosts

    Each host has

    2 x processors (8 cores each) with HT active

    192 GB OF RAM

    vSphere HA has been activated.

    Admission control policy set to "tolerate failures of the host in the cluster" with the value 1.

    With 2 GB of vRAM and 1 vCPU has created a virtual machine.  No memory and CPU Hotel booking.

    I put one of the host in maintenance mode and try to turn on the virtual machine, but it failed to power upward with the error "insufficient resources to meet the configured switch level for vSphere HA.

    Am I missing something?

    Thank you

    Alex

    I put one of the host in maintenance mode and try to turn on the virtual machine, but it failed to power upward with the error "insufficient resources to meet the configured switch level for vSphere HA.

    When having two hosts only no host doesn't stay for failover when one of these hosts are in maintenance mode... That is why it gives you this message...

  • Not enough resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA

    I have a cluster of vSphere based 5.0 based on ESXi 5 knots 2.

    When I try to start a virtual machine, I get an error saying that there is "insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA.

    If I turn off an another VM the problem disappears and I can turn on my VM.

    If I try to turn on the virtual machine, I have already turned off, I get the error again.

    It seems obvious that there is a lack resources or some setting is misconfigured, but even after reading the forums and manuals, I am unable to locate the critical resource or parameter that is not correct.

    Based on my experience or vSphere server and ESXi servers are overloaded.

    I have an another similar cluster of hosting a larger number of virtual machines with no similar problem.

    This performance counter and this setting should check to identify the bottleneck?

    Concerning

    Marius

    To check reservations for virtual machines, I would select the Cluster in your vCenter inventory, then select the resources"" tab.  Which displays the child objects of the bunch (VMs, Resource Pools, vApps).  There you can watch settings of CPU resources and memory.  You'll want to watch the column of "Reserves".

    To find the size of the slot and places available, look at the tab "Summary" of your cluster.  There is a tile marked "vSphere HA.  In this mosaic, there will be a link for "Advanced Runtime Info" which will open a new window with the location information.

    When the Admission AP policy is set to "Number of failures of host cluster will tolerate", HA has a very pessimistic view of your resources, since it must be able to handle all the possibilities.

    Another option would be to change the admission control strategy in settings of Cluster HA to "percentage of resources reserved for failover.  It reserves a part of the resources for use by HA in the case of a failover, rather than trying to calculate the size of the individual virtual machines.  With a 2 cluster nodes, I think it a relatively safe bet to set these values to 50%, as your worst case scenario HA would be losing a single host on 2.

  • Best RAM for vSphere

    Hello

    I bought an Intel S2600CP4 motherboard as well as two new Sandy Bridge E5-2600 processors.

    I was thinking about the best RAM to my system, I have 64 GB of ram. What is the best option? I already bought 32 gb 1600 MHz Corsair Dominator, but now I understand that it is not a 'server' QUEENS, more than a 'gaming '. Is this a good RAM? This will affect the performance of my virtual machines running on vSphere? Should I get another 32 GB of Corsair Dominator? Or should I get 64 GB of another brand that is designed for the server? How is bad to mix RAM from different manufacturers on a single server?

    What is the best ram you would recommend for this configuration?

    Thank you!

    When selecting RAM for vSphere, I would make three key recommendations:

    1. the more the better (but be aware that the free license can only use 32 GB and will refuse to start if you have more than that)

    2. faster the better (I think that 1600 MHz is good)

    3. in the event that run absolutely stable in your system.

    Therefore, carefully test you RAM (with memtest or similar tools) for the stability of the system.

    For me, it is not sensible to recommend a specific brand. Even measuring 'server' RAM that you can have a bad chip, leading to instability. Test whether this is the most important thing.
