Number of targets for a storage HBA adapter?

I'm setting up the connections of storage host as below is to say each HBA host with 2 connected to FC switch, which in turn connects to the storage as below: -.

Storage connection.png

Now if I select the host & go to Configuration-> storage adapters-> select an HBA.

I can understand the number of paths, it is double since via adapter HBA selected, I have two paths for each data store.

But why target number is 4, even if via this selected HBA adapter there are only 2 paths by the data store and not 4 paths?

Don't forget that we select one of THEM, so logically it would the target number according to the targets available via this HBA adapter only

If you have two storage arrays with both SPS on each storage array, then you will have 4 targets:

Target 1 - Bay storage 1-1 storage processor

Target 2 - Bay storage 1-2 storage processor

Target 3 - Bay storage 2-1 storage processor

Goal 4 - Bay storage 2 - storage processor 2

  • SAS HBA or Raid for R905 for external storage?

    So I got a R905 used off ebay.  I wanted to use it for a storage server.  Unfortunately, the LSI SAS HBA or the Areca 1883 work in one of the 7 pci-e slots.  The cards are seen and their bios are launched and start automatic and other tests.  Two of them crash during initialization (it is not a matter of waiting a few minutes - in a trial, let him so all day while I was out).  I know that the slots are not dead, like the map 4-port gbe enet provided with it works great, just like a connection-x 2 infiniband card.  I confirmed that the bios and bmc firmware are the latest and best.  It's a kind of dell 'we do support the controllers dell' thing?  If so, I guess I agree with the purchase of a dell SAS HBA connector sff-8088 with random (since that's what jbod I want to connect using...)  Any thoughts appreciated...

    Hello.

    No Dell non-certified controllers are not validated to work properly on Dell servers. But this does not mean that may not work, it's a 50-50 chance. I recommend using certified Dell SAS HBA card such as: manufacturer: 7RJDT | Dell reference: 342-0910. Not so sure on the type of connector

  • iSCSI HBA adapter

    Been having a lot of problems with a repressive IBM X 3650 M2 and its compatibility with the UEFI.  The problem I have now is that one does not see the storage and was curious to know if HBA will really hurt.  I know that sounds like a stupid question, but it's the only thing I have left.  I checked, double checked, m and triple checked all the settings and they are correct.  Swapped cables, exchanged ports and after a new analysis to show anything.  The other adapter is fine and the only other thing that I've been swap cards around.  Did not have to open the box.  Are there other things I can try to see why this HBA adapter can not see the storage?  It pings very good also.  The wuggestions are welcome. Thank you

    Perry

    Is there a firewall between you and the iSCSI storage?  Using CHAP?  Have you checked that the initiator is set up for CHAP authentication on the storage side?  There could be lots of things, even a HBA bad as you mention... but if it can ping successfully I guess it's a problem of configuration somewhere.

  • Search or find target for shortcut missing features in Vista, deleted?

    I just finished a large number of documents, 7 GB, from my old XP computer to a new computer with Vista.  To avoid creating copies of the same file in this big folder structure I created often in many places shortcuts to point to the actual file.  Over the years, some of the structure of file modified and moved the target, so the shortcuts files are pointing to the old location.

    In Vista, whenever I've chaque fois que j' ai rencontre met one of these shortcuts pointing to the old location, by clicking the shortcut creates a "problem with shortcut" error and load the file fails.  In addition, if you right click on the shortcut properties, the button "find target" of XP has been replaced by "position to open the file" and it does not work as well.

    Under XP, it was never a problem.  I tested the old computer to make sure.  Whenever you click on a shortcut pointing to a location on the old XP automatically to find the file and resolve the reference shortcut, which loads the file with a slight delay only.  After closing the file the shortcut would now point to the new location.  The same thing will happen if you right-click the shortcut properties and chose the target of research, he finds the new loacation fairly quickly.

    Is there a reason for this 'Find target' for shortcuts feature has been disabled or deleted in Vista?  Is there a way to reactivate?

    I am running Vista SP1 with Windows Search 4.0.  Windows Search makes it quick to find the target file, but manually having to search and update each shortcut is going to be a real pain.

    I did some research and found this article that explains how to turn off this feature in XP and also to allow it.  I tried to create the same value of registry under Vista to see if it would, but it did not work:
    http://www.pcauthorities.com/Windows-XP/disable-missing-shortcut-search

    I also tried the .lnk associations found here:
    http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/new-shortcut-Wizard-does-not-work-or-the-option-is-missing-in-Vista/

    Nothing seems to work.  What is it disabled for security or something?  Is there a way to set the shortcuts?

    This feature has been removed from Vista, why... I have no idea :(

    I hope that they (Microsoft) has added it back with Windows 7... which was released in October also ;)

  • Windows Server 2008 R2, with two Windows Storage Server 2003 Standard: How can I add the MAC authentication on top of Active Directory authentication for a storage servers?

    I have two running Windows Storage Server 2003 storage servers in a domain R2 Windows Server 2008 Standard.  On top of the Active Directory authentication, I want to add authentication of MAC address for the access to one of the storage servers.  In this scenario, an authenticated user is unable to log on to the target storage server unless the user is also on one of the computers MAC address accepted.  All domain users will have access to other folders and files as configuration storage server in Active Directory.  I already have a user access to installation by the permissions for folders on the storage server target, but I still want to restrict access to specific computers as well.  For what it's worth the server hardware is HP Proliant DL360 G5 for the Standard Server 2008 R2 and server HP Proliant DL185 G5 for two Storage Server 2003 computers.  I don't want to have MAC address authentication as the main means of access control to the network, only for the storage server a as an addition to control Active Directory.

  • The number of heartbeat for the host data warehouses is 0, which is less than required: 2

    Hello

    I have trouble creating my DRS cluster + storage of DRS, I have 3 hosts esxi 5.1 for the task

    First, I created the cluster, no problem with that, so the DRS storage was created and now I can see in the Summary tab

    "The number of heartbeat for the host data warehouses is 0, which is less than required: 2".

    I search the Web and there are similar problems when people has only a single data store (the one that came with ESXi) and need to add another but in my case... vcenter detects any...

    In the views of storage I see the store of data (VMFS) but for some strange reason the cluster not

    In order to achieve data warehouses minimum (2) can I create an NFS and map it in THE 3 esxi hosts? Vcenter which consider a play config?

    Thank you

    You probably only have local data warehouses, which are not that HA would require for this feature (pulsations datastore) to work properly.

    You will need either 2 iSCSI, FC 2 or 2 NFS volumes... Or a combination of the any of them, for this feature to work. If you don't want to use this feature, you can also turn it off:

    Updates are not related to series numbers, so you must have done something compared to try to use an upgrade rather than an update.  Adobe not revise older versions of their software to adapt to the latest hardware/devices.  They create/sell new versions of their software for it.  If you subscribe to the Cloud at some point you shouldn't have a problem with the software becomes obsolete.

  • syslog not configured for persistent storage

    I'm under ESXi 4.0.0 261974 on one server HP Blade BL35p. installed fine and everything works OK apart if I try to access the console of the host. I get the following message "* SySlog is not configured for persistent storage"

    I looked at the Syslog settings under software/advanced settings and all is the default value for the local and remote. The only thing listed is port 514, which I believe is default. I have 3 virtual machines running on the local disk and 2 computer virtual running on an iSCSI target. Anyone know how I can get in the console of the host?

  • No sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100

    I lost the sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100. I have an invoice.
    How can I recover the license number?

    Licensed refused to support this topic.

    Hello

    You can't get the license number.
    First the sticker on the bottom of the unit has been a serial OEM key. This key cannot be used and would not work under Win XP installed system costs.

    The point is that Toshiba image which was preinstalled on this laptop has already been activated, which means that this key has been useless.

    I assume that you have not created a disk recovery Toshiba (or flash USB stick) in the past? Right?
    These records would be reinstall the image of Toshiba containing the active Win XP system.

    Well, usually it of possible to order this disc [here | http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] but I think that would be more because of the age of the laptop.

    Solution: you have to buy Win XP with valid serial key.
