New Test for SAN environment

Hello

I want to configure a test environment of SAN. Currently, I have 2 ESX host and switch San Q logic and a machine with 2 TB of storage in this regard. I just want to test if I could create a SAN storage and I both ESX hosts point to storage using the fiber cable. Is there an inexpensive way to do it? I know openfiler using iSCSI, but I want to test using fiber channel.

Thank you

Download and test with the V6 DSS 4550 version and when you create a set of logical volumes CF the size block to be 512K and then go to the nursery to target CF in the graphical interface of the Configuration tab make sure to set the Qlogic FC HBA mode target since the GUI configuration > Fiber Channel then restart the system. You don't need a Swtich CF so you don't want that you can directly connect the FC HBA to each other. Hope this helps and thanks for watching Open-E!

  • A NETWORK OK card for the test at home environment?

    I wanted to install ESX 4.0 on my computer at home, just for learning purposes. It's an Asus P6T with i7 920 and 12 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, Marvell onboard network card is not supported by ESX. If I want to buy a CHEAP NETWORK card that is officially supported so I can play with ESX. ESX installs with a single NETWORK card? I know that this is not recommended, but it is a test without vmotion environment, etc. Or ESX, physically, requires more than one network interface card install even?

    Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter is very cheap and on ESX 4.0 HCL, but has a single port.  Oh, and I can't run ESX inside the workstation because I need to test the client 64-bit VMs, which you can't do inside Workstation 6.5.2.

    Thoughts?

    Yes like you don't tell a 'best practice', but you should be fine for a test environment.

    I would get another NETWORK card if you were doing well for storage at home if... but even you CAN do with a card NETWORK ISCSI or NFS

  • Satellite Pro M70: Where to find the new driver for intel 915GM

    I downloaded the new driver for the chipset intel 915GM, and when I install games doesn't seem to work properly, that is to say he's going to choppy when you move the mouse over the buttons.

    If I go back to my old driver, everything seems fine. I don't mind using an old, I'm just confused why it will not work properly. The Readme file included with it just confuses me, but it says something about the installation of a patch for its hi-def?

    Hello

    I have the same unit but with inside ATI graphics card. Sorry if I misunderstood something, but why you want to install driver chipset? Must the chipset driver be updated until you try to install the graphics driver?

    In any case I recommend you to use only the designed Toshiba chipset driver. It is tested and adapted for this hardware platform. I'm not 100% sure but I assume that your graphics card is with shared memory. Am I wrong?

  • TestStand step to call a new instance of Teststand environment

    I am trying to create a troubleshooting step and I would that this step to be able to open a new instance of the testbed environment. I if the troubleshooting step is encountered, the current sequence to stop running, open a new test sequence that will allow the engineer perform a parallel TestStand window troubleshooting steps and troubleshooting testbed environment close to return to the calling sequence.

    Hello Daniel,.

    I think your best bet would be to have just the steps break if an error occurs if you can help then go in TestStand. If you open a new instance of TestStand, you won't be really able to troubleshoot the sequence you just ran, it will be troubleshooting a new sequence.

  • Send a table 1 d of test for MSSQL 2012 data

    Hello. Feel free to answer a number any of the sub questions you can. Thanks in advance!

    (1) being new to MSSQL, I don't know how to send a simple 1 d table of a floating number of type to a table in Microsoft SQL 2012. This is as far as I'm away. I get the message on the left with the VI current and one on the right when I get rid of the concatenation of strings of time and just carry the numbers going to the table name instead.

    2 (a), this is my Guinea pig file, running on a database of Guinea pig. Finally I want to send the data from a test procedure that records a piece of data per millisecond - a table usually end up with approximately 15 000 items, more or less - on the basis of data. Unfortunately, I know the misfortune that Labview can send only on one line at a time. So how the hell do I do a new column for each new piece of data for a test that will run for an indefinite period?

    2 (b) ideally, I would have a table with a column for each test was run, with the title of each column is the time and date at which the test was run. Is there a way to "transpose" the data once it's in MSSQL?

    I used the fixed data because it's a better illustation of how things work.

    If you need to write two items on one line at a time, then you need to group them together.  The error you are getting is because you have wired a double as input but listed two columns.  Notice that my last example wrote a cluster (which can be created with a fiber node) of two elements.  You must use together to create a cluster and time data, then thread this cluster node of your insert.

    A few other comments:

    Generally screws express is a reasonable place to start when you're new to LabVIEW, but you must learn to use shift registers do calendar between the execution of the loop.

    When it is to group the data and time together you need not to turn all this into a table first.  Just put the time in a single entry and your data in the other.  The groups you create are a single line of data.

    Please check that the type of the CreatedBy attribute is a number representing the id in FND_USER and not the actual text of the name of the user. Standard Oracle columns that use a number for this value not varchar.

  • FQDNs for ESX environment when DNS servers are VMS within the ESX environment

    Hello

    I was wondering,

    When the implementation of a new infrastructure from scratch, with an ESX cluster from scratch

    and when the servers DNS themselves will run inside the cluster,

    Then, it is advisable to use IP addresses instead of the domain name COMPLETE for the right ESX environment?

    Here's what I've done so far:

    -installed 1 ESX host

    -installed donain controller as VM

    -installed PSC and VCSA

    -created the new cluster

    -installed the second ESX host, added to the cluster.

    I installed a VM DC as the first thing after the installation of the initial ESX host, I could have started using the domain name COMPLETE for the ESX environment at this time.

    However, I didn't do it.

    For installation of the VCSA and when you add ESX hosts to the cluster, I used IP addresses instead of the FQDN names.

    It seems stupid and dangerous for me to use domain COMPLETE the ESX hosts themselves, because the domain controller is running in the cluster.

    So I used IP addresses only to ensure the ESX HA cluster and the characteristics of heartbeat stay ok if something were to happen to the DNS server.

    However, the VCSA installation and when you add hosts to the cluster,.

    the MISTLETOE gave me a warning, indicating that it is preferable to provide a FULL domain instead of an IP address name.

    I am of the opinion that if you have no physical DNS servers, it is not a good idea.

    My opinion is that when your nameservers inside the ESX cluster itself and you do not have 2 redundant external DNS servers, so it is not wise to use the FQDN for your ESX hosts, PSC and VCSA setup.

    In my view, using the property intellectual property is much safer in this case.

    I was wondering what is your angle on it.

    Do you see the same way, or have different opinions?

    Hi smetter,.

    It is advisable to have a working DNS for vSphere environment however the use of DNS for things like vSphere HA have been removed in more recent versions of the product. Refer to the section of the guidelines of the general network of this document for more details: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vmw-vsphere-high-availability.pdf

    With this in mind I wouldn't be worried about use of FULL domain for the addition of services like the ESX host, etc.. Failure where HA would be restarting the virtual computer, there is no dependency on DNS so it will continue to work as expected and, subject to the availability of resources the virtual machine starts on another host.

    According to your vSphere licenses, you may also like to consider the implementation of anti-affinity DRS VM to keep your DNS Appart servers and on different hosts. This can prevent your servers DNS are declining when the failure of a host. You must have Enterprise edition or later for this.

    Kind regards.

  • Migration of servers to new host and SAN

    Hello

    Current configuration:

    2 x ESXi servers, local storage, share nothing.  License of VMWare Essentials

    New configuration:

    3 x SAN Eqllogic, ESXi servers. Essential Plus VMWare license

    I would like to make the transition to the new configuration with minimal downtime, we have invited a few large (> 1 TB) on one of the servers and I don't want them to be disconnected for more than a few minutes, then a migration cold is out of the question.

    I had a thought that I could put the license key more on the old servers and 1 new servers, set the new SAN on the old servers, use VMWare replication to replicate virtual machines among the old servers to the new server/storage, and then perform a recovery.

    I would then remove this old Vsphere server, add a new server and transfer the license, then perform the same task on the old server to 2nd.

    Once it is finished I remove the old server 2, add the new 3rd server, and move the license.

    Can someone tell me if this is possible, or suggest alternatives?

    Thank you

    Dean.

    Hi Dean,

    Replication (replication vSphere) VMware will be requires downtime when you are recovering from the old host to new host.

    How much time can you afford for downtime?

    The recovery process will turn off the source/protected VM on the current host (VM function how long it would normally take to perform a shutdown comments) and destination/recovery VM will be powered on to a new host (again, depends on VM normally, how long it would take for the operating system and services until then a normal diet on the process).

    vSphere replication requires vSphere Web Client and other requirements, as described here: 5.5 - replication requirements vSphere vSphere Documentation Centre

    You have a vCenter Server?
    What version of ESXi (and vCenter) do you use?

    If you don't have a vCenter Server yet, I suggest you install a vCenter server and add all the current 2 ESXi hosts + 1 new ESXi host.

    From there, you'll have an ESXi 3 host, then you can migrate current ESXi host for new.

    If you are using vSphere 5.1 + you can vMotion, even if the host do not have access to the same storage see this: library of vSphere 5.5 - Migration with vMotion in environments without storage shared

    Its quite simple, if you are using vSphere 5.1 +.

    -Make sure you have vcenter Server 5.1 + with vSphere Web Client

    -Add current hosts + 1 new hosts

    -Make sure the vMotion without requirement for shared storage are filled with VSphere 5.5 Documentation Center - requirements and restrictions for vMotion without Shared Storage

    -Perform vMotion without process Shared Storage of current host to the new host + local storage to SAN EqualLogic - you can start with small VM and VM less critical first if you are not sure.

    -Once all virtual machines have been migrated to the new host + EqualLogic SAN, you can do a maintenance on the current host mode, and then delete the vCenter Server (vSphere licenses will be retrieved)

    -Add the 2 remaining new hosts.

    If you are using vSphere 5.1 prior, you must present the SAN EqualLogic again 1 new host and current 2 hosts.

    Once current hosts can see the EqualLogic SAN, make a Storage vMotion (live migration records) local storage to the EqualLogic.

    For first migration vSphere 5.1, there are 2 ways that I can think of:

    1. with vMotion - without interruption

    There are certain requirements of configuration for vMotion work: Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5 - Migration with vMotion

    Make sure your classes and new hosts are run in the same processor / EVC mode or matrix, you can check it out here: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=cpu

    If they are on different EVC Mode, you can turn on the CEV on new hosts.

    The steps are:

    S ' ensure that virtual machines are in EqualLogic (you can use Storage vMotion)

    -Perform a vMotion from the current host to new host.

    -Once all virtual machines have been migrated, you can safely do a maintenance on the current host mode and remove the vCenter Server

    -Add the remaining 2 new hosts the vCenter.

    2. without vMotion - requires the interruptions of service commissioning

    It's cold migration but without migration of storage, must be less compared to downtime directly cold immigration to localdisk of shared storage.

    The steps are:

    S ' ensure that virtual machines are in EqualLogic (you can use Storage vMotion)

    -Turn off the virtual machines in the current hosts and migrate (cold) of the host-to-host former New (you can also drag the virtual computer and drop it to the new host).

    -Once all virtual machines have been migrated, you can safely do a maintenance on the current host mode and remove the vCenter Server

    -Add the remaining 2 new hosts the vCenter.
