• If you use network storage, configure ASM disks with external redundancy groups

  Hi Experts,

  If you use network storage, configure ASM disks with external redundancy groups. Don't use groups of Oracle ASM failure. Oracle failure groups consume cycles additional CPU and can run in unpredictable ways after suffering from a disk failure. When you use external redundancy, disk failure are transparent to the database and do consume no additional database CPU cycle, because it is discharged on storage processors.

  This does not mean

  • RAID 1 + 0 for diskgroup + REDO1
  • RAID 1 + 0 for diskgroup + REDO2
  • RAID 5 for diskgroup + DATA
  • RAID 5 for diskgroup + FRA

  Is this one suggested, the recommended best practices for oracle on VMWARE?

• The MSCS storage configuration

  Hi all

  I would like to create a virtual cluster using MSCS on Windows 2008 R2 to run SQL. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the configuration storage room. I would like to have a 2 cluster nodes with each cluster running on a different node.

  We use CF to the EMC CX Clarrion-340. I understand that I must use RDM disks.

  When I create a physical cluster, I create a LUN of ladd and storage on the SAN for the cluster group. I then to the area of everything and he my storage can be added to the cluster.

  How well it works with virtual machines? It is not as if they have cards CF connecting to SAN. So, how access to the SAN storage?

  Maybe I'm on that thought.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Kind regards

  Dean

  Dean, present you LUNS to the ESX host only, in the same way you present LUNS to storage data VMFS. Next, you will add these LUNS to your nodes in cluster as RDM disks. Once you have done your esx servers will create mapping files that take the first virtual machine to LUN IO, all consecutive IOs will be sent directly from VM to LUN by your ESX HBAS. I recommend checking your storage against the hardware compatibility list for Vmware for the support of MS Failover cluster in this configuration, but it could still work well without be supported by vmware.

• SAN storage configuration recommendations

  We have a HP SAN with two fiber switches and a Bay of storage MSA2012FC with 12 146 GB drives.  I am trying to decide how to configure storage for our VI3 environment and seeks recommendations.

  At this point, I am considering two-Bay RAID 10 (6-146GB disks each) with 1 (220 GB) or 2 (440 GB) LUNS defined by the RAID array.  The virtual machines are configured in an HA configuration so I think it would be better to have two tables separated raid against one.  This way I can separate the pairs HA between the RAID arrays.  If I create a single RAID 10 array, then if more then one disk fails in this table we could lose everything.  In the future, we will add another MSA2000 pregnant then we will have another 12 146 GB drives.  At this point, we can expand each Bay RAID 10 to 12 146 GB drives to give us more storage space and performance.

  This sounds like a good plan?  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hello

  RAID 5 is recommended because the table can stay together if 1 disk breaks down. With spare disks, this is a good configuration. RAID 10, a disk fails and you are switched. If this also works...

  I like Raid 5 and I have set up my disk space based on execution of 10-12 VMs per LUN. Who is the the average number per LUN. It's all about redundancy.

• The Windows VM file server storage configuration options

  Hi all

  I have a Setup home of ESXi 3.5 running on an Adaptec 5805 with 3 x Western Digital 1 TB of drives in raid 5.  I plan on a number of virtual machines running on VMFS using virtual disks ranging from 10 to 20 GB.  Most of the storage is for the volume of a windows VM file server storage, somewhere around 1.5 to the mark.  Additional physical disks added to the Adaptec 5805 will be added for file server storage.  At least that's what I want to achieve

  My question is, what is the best option to add the windows VM storage file server because the VMs and storage are all on the same table?

  1. a large VMFS volume, add a virtual as extra storage space 1.5 TB drive to the VM file server and use scopes when you add additional physical disks in the array

  2. a single 300 GB partition on the table in the VMFS datastore for virtual machines, a score of 1.5 TB on the table in the VMFS datastore for storage file server disk.  Use scopes on the 1.5 TB data store when adding additional physical disks

  3. a single 300 GB partition on the table in the data store additional VMFS for VMs. the rest of the dashboard accessible from Raw Device Mapping for the 'normal' when you add storage of file server and extented with methods of expansion array physical disks

  4. something else non of the above makes no sense or it is technically impossible.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  Jon

  Hi Jon "Best" depends on what you want to accomplish, all 3 of your options 'will work '...

  1 & 2 gives you the flexibility to create files VMDK as space and allocation to different virtual machines, if you need to. So for your 1.5 to sample, you can decide you want 500 GB to go to VM1, VM2 250, etc. etc. Option #3 devoted himself primarily to the 1.5 TB on a virtual computer, whatever we have mapped ROW (the ROW will include the entire disk and outside the cluster configurations is only usable by a virtual machine).

  When you create a VMFS partition, you can choose the size of the block that fits your needs. For a 1.5 to drive you choose 8 MB so that you could create a VMDK file as large as the disc if you wanted (8 MB would give you an upper limit of 2 TB).

  Extensions will allow you to spend a single data store by adding disks, however another approach when adding drives is to create additional data store, and then create the VMDK files and link them in virtual machines as necessary (find yourself with "multiple" readers in the virtual machine).

• Marketing madules in OBIEE metadata configuration

  Hello guys
  
  I know that the OBIEE application has a marketing to it too, it's just not commonly used green. The former siebel analytical document has a chapter who spoke of marketing of configurations of modules such as segmentation, the generation of the list and so on, but I can't find any more than the chapter on the active document of OBIEE.
  
  Is there a document that talks about this? Also, if you use the feature marketing in OBIEE, OBIEE should integrate with other marketing applications to make it work, or is it rather a feature OBIEE independent?

• ESXi 4.0 - Storage Configuration - I made a mistake

  I made a mistake; but I'm really a novice to understand the original.  Can I please advice?

  I built an ESX4.0 box on some old material, it has quite large disks, the table ended up being big, 2.7 TB still store data on the final outcome, are only 741 GB big.  Have a look at the output of fdisk and partedUtil - the entire disk seems to be used (see below).

  Can I somehow, the use of the other 2 TB of storage? Where am I wrong?

  Also; The layer VMFS and disk partitions data warehouses what confused for me? Is - this disk partion > VMFS > datastore?

  You cannot use a single LUN > (2 TB-512 b) on ESXi 4.0.

  First question is the reason for which you build such an older version? I know that the answer could well be related to support for your older equipment.

  The general rule is "a disk/LUN = partition = 1 vmfs datastore. If you want to break this storage in two data stores that fall within the limit of 2 TB, you must watch what your storage provider offers around the creation of two small lun. I know with, for example, the HP hardware, you can create a physical RAID array with two "local disks" below to achieve this effect.

• Can span a Mutiple data storage Configuration?

  It is a facility of Lab Manager 3.  I was wondering if it is possible for a configuration to span multiple data stores.  We have a configuration using 4 vm of (closed) that are stored on a 1 to LUN.  As it fills, how (or can) distribute data to one or more data stores?  Is there a setting in chooseand LM / or distributute disk space?  How can I set this up to mutiple LUN of the handle with a unique configuration?

  Yes, virtual machines in a configuration can be on different data warehouses.  Linked clone VMs will be on the same data store as their parent; the parent can be moved by consolidating or cloning it and indicating the target data store.

• Storage NFS for Exchange Server OS

  While I believe that Microsoft Support policy and recommendations for Exchange servers in hardware virtualization environments, document is very clear, I was faced with the following question:

  Microsoft does support the operating system Exchange server running on a NFS datastore?

  I believe that this issue is the result of the lack of understanding of the support strategy.  Here is the statement in question ("BOLD" emphasis is mine):

  The storage used by the Exchange Server guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or hub transport queues) can be virtual storage of a fixed size (for example, fixed virtual hard drives [VHD] in a Hyper-V environment), SCSI direct storage, or Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage. Pass through storage is storage that is configured at the host level and dedicated to one guest machine. All storage used by a computer invited exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage. Exchange 2010 is not compatible with network attached storage (NAS) volumes. NAS storage presented to the guest as block-level storage using the hypervisor is not supported. Transmission volumes must be presented as storage of block level for hardware virtualization software. This is because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network. The following virtual disk requirements apply to volumes that are used to store Exchange data.

  While I thought that the statement applied specifically to Exchange data, you can read this includes the OS data server as well (based on the second sentence in bold).  A customer was told by an engineer from MS that NAS storage was not at all based.  I disagree, because the recommended storage configuration is to separate the BONES of exchanging data anyway.

  Reference http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794548%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

  I'm all for pick up statements of support from MS and calling him on it, when the issue is raised in question and this one is no different.  I read the Data Exchange simply means that databases, newspapers, etc.  In fact they make it that some clearly in this statement:

  "The storage used by the Exchange guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or Hub transport queues)...". »

  There is no mention of the operating system being considered as Exchange data... which is not.  As for this one:

  "All storage used by a guest computer in Exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network."

  OK, this has been an attitude of long-standing support for MS, no biggie there since we have some that only qualified Data Exchange.  To the following:

  "In addition, NAS storage presented to the guest as block via the hypervisor level storage no is not supported."

  The key point here is that the NAS storage can be presented to a guest in two ways, one through the prompt (mounting storage NAS for Windows, that is, \\server\share) and another through the hypervisor (supported NFS VMDK).  In this statement, they are referring to the latter.  So, after all, this hike that my point is that it seems to me that the drive for your Exchange virtual computer operating system can absolutely be hosted on NAS-based storage and be supported.

  .. .then it's VMware spin on it, a little.  For Hub Transport, client access and stand-alone Mailbox servers, we have no problem with that.  We recommend, however, that if a clustering solution is deployed within the guest, i.e. DAG, you create the VMDK as eagerzeroedthick.  VMDK supported by NFS cannot be eagerzeroedthick, by our advice should not be hosted on NFS.  This little nugget of information is available here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1037959.  The reason behind this is when you use a disk virtual standard thickness blocks must be cancelled before the data is written, this (albeit low) latency is avoided by using the eagerzeroedthick option.  What we are proposing is avoid any additional latency that clusters tend to not like and zero all on.  BTW, we suggest this to any level of clustering, not just Exchange or MSCS comments.

• Storage on FIs FcoE ports

  Hi, we live from Netapp for the FIs storage configured as storage fcoe ports, the FIs are FC switch mode. I see the netapp in FIs flogied so the CF part looks good. I was creating a KEEN on the Netapp side and CE marking on these ports connected to the FIs to use for ethernet/nfs traffic. I need to tag vlan 100 side FI, but it seems that there is no way I can do this. The config on made them is as below.

  FI - A (nxos) # sh run int eth1/23

  interface Ethernet1/23

  F: FcoeStorage description

  PIN border

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport trunk vlan native 4049

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 2000,4049

  no downtime

  FI - A (nxos) # sh run int vfc745

  interface vfc745

  link interface Ethernet1/23

  switchport trunk allowed vsan 2000

  no downtime

  The NXOS running on the FIs is read-only. How to allow to vlan 100 int eth1/23?

  You also need to configure the port as a port of the device.  This will make a "Unified storage" port rather than simply FCoE_Storage port.  When you add the role of 'Port' the device it allows you to select the trunk VLAN you want to allow.  The FI should then tag the traffic accordingly.

  E.g.

  interface Ethernet1/1

  Description AF: UnifiedStorage

  No server pinning sticky

  pinning of pinning-down server drop down link

  No cdp enable

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport trunk vlan native 4049

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,240,4048-4049

  no downtime

  Kind regards

• Storage circuits and dot1q FCoE

  We have live from Netapp for the FIs storage configured as storage fcoe ports, the FIs are in mode switch CF. I see the netapp in FIs flogied so the CF part looks good. On the side of netapp, we have a 10 g interface, e1a, with an IP on this subject.  We have another interface of 10g, e1b, with VLAN attached to it for this interface sends and receives frames dot1q tag.

  Documentation seems to imply that the ip traffic does not at all on an FCOE storage port.  Yet, e1a works very well is not the case of e1b.

  Question 1: My theory is the plain ethernet on e1a works well but the dot1q tagging on e1b, is what actually does work on the FCOE storage port.  Am I wrong?

  Question 2: I think to operate dot1q that I need to change to change the type of port FI FCOE destocking at the port of the unit.  Is it as simple as chaning the port enter through the UCS Manager?  Who takes the FCOE link offline or anything?

  Hi Tod,

  Please make sure you have dot1q on Netapp and necessary FCoE VLAN are marked as native on FI and Netapp.

• Get-hard drives - storage drives data store migrate between data warehouses

  Hi all

  
  

  Our current storage configuration with specially designed split-role of the bases of data storages (OS, LOG SQL, SQL DATA, APP, Exchange roles, etc.)  I do a storage store on my VMware Infrastructure and hoped to target only the disks of virtual machines that are on any data store and migrate them to another.  Rather new to PowerCli if you're wondering why the bellows of the command does not work and the reports that the file is locked.
  

  
  

  Get-hard drive - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Moving-hard drive - data store Datastore02

  If the machine virtual itself is made aware of the command?  Would I have to enumarte the virtual machines on the first data store and then target discs that everyone has and redirect it to the hard disk Move command?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you are banging in the sequence of commands trying to move a file on the data store without referencing the virtual machine. According to the State of the virtual machine (lit or not) of different things happen

  • VM power off - the disc is moved and the virtual machine is broken (the vmx file will always point to the original location for the HD that is no longer there)
  • Virtual MACHINE power - the disk is locked, so it cannot be moved (the error you have seen)

  Another thing to keep in mind is that the configuration of the VM is also on a data store, so if you want to move the entire virtual machine you can just move the hard drives

  If all the virtual machines on a data store have all their HDs on this data store then you can do something like

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Move-VM - data store "Datastore02".

  To access the VM configuration, but also his records. If you have virtual machines where the disks into a single virtual machine, then you will have a little more work to do to sort the records that must be moved

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Get-hard drive | Where-Object {$_.} FileName.Contains ("[Datastore01]")} | Moving-hard drive - data store "Datastore02".

  This is all virtual machines with a component (hard drive or configuration) on Datastore1, and then for each VM is all hard disks that are on Datastore01 and the Datastore02
