• Lakeshore remote GPIB of VSM?

  Hello, I'm controlling a remote Lakeshore VSM via GPIB controller. Unfortunately, the SCAN command doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if there is a good way to send a remote enable command at the Lake? Thanks in advance for any help.

  I'm not sure what you mean by 'distance' GPIB, but have you tried the function activate remote (range of GPIB 488.2)?

• VSM appears no not after installation

  I installed vsm 4.0 on my vcenter, but after the installation, I do not see any icon of MSM on the House of vcenter.

  only the VM VSM is displayed in the VMS and templates.

  I m with vsphere 5.5.

  Downloaded the Manager of virtual storage from dell for vmware v4.0 (EGGS) to install.

  

  

  Hello Alex,.

  Are you using the Web Client vSphere vCenter? VSM 4.6 icons appear only on the web interface.

  If you use the web client and still does not work, you must restart the services vCenter.

  Let me know the results.

• VSM 4.0.2.1 pulls not groups information

  Hello

  I have deployed dell virtual storage manager 2 days ago and I added PS groups him

  so far it pull information about groups of PS

  both groups say connected capacity 0 MB use 0%

  vcenter server and vsm device both PS management ports are on the same subnet, they are all talk to each other very well, I have not added/configured ISCSI network on the device

  clues?

  also try to get in the newspapers of diagnostics that are registered in the \\applianceipaddress\etc... he ask username and password and I tried the default settings, and he would never let me

  Thank you

  Hmmm... I can only suggest that you open a support folder so that they can work it directly.

• EQL / VSM / MEM / vSphere upgrade order

  Hello

  I see now that v8, MEM 1.3 EQL and VSM 4.5 have been released as EPA so I can upgrade to vSphere 6!

  Is there an order of upgrade recommended for all of these components?  I guess EQL v8 first, then the environment vSphere, then MEM, then VSM?

  I think I read THAT MEM 1.2 was not compatible with vSphere 6?  If this is the case, I guess I have to switch to the RR before upgrading vSphere and then apply 1.3 MEM?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I agree first of all of the firmware on board.  Remove the MEM, then upgrade vSphere Server v6 then ESXi nodes to v6.0.  You can do MEM or VSM in order any at that time.

  Kind regards

• VM Exchange or SQL with instant HIT Kit and VSM

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could explain a bit more on integration of VSM and HIT kit without scenario ISCSI based comments like below...

  Exchange and SQL servers are run under vm on Vcenter/Vsphere 5.5 environment, and there is no comments ISCSI connection which means that all disks are vmdk.

  So, based on this scenario, is it possible to use the HIT kit to restore data (granular level) even if the snapshot has been taken by VSM data store option?

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  No, you cannot use HIT / ME in this case.   The HIT kit requires the MS ISCSI initiator to work properly. For creation and restoration of snapshots.

  VSM is against the whole VMFS data store.  First VCS invites you to create snapshots, the VMware VMDK VSM will require instant volume EQL.

  VSM don't offer currently not at the file level restore.  However, you can do it manually.

  Bring the EQL data store snapshot online.

  Connect to a node ESXi and add this snapshot of the data store to that node.

  (With storage add, after a new analysis of the ESXi iSCSI initiator)

  It renames the snapshot of the data store for: "snapshot - XXXXXX -

  You can do a few things here.  Copy the original entire virtual disk of the snapshot to the data store. Or more generally to add the file VMDK from the snapshot on another virtual computer as another drive.

  When you start the virtual computer, it will appear as a new drive letter.  Then, you can copy individual files of this copy.

  An important thing to note.  When you use a snapshot, you will use instant reserve.  So make sure if you attach not already 100% instant reserve that increase you it as much as possible.  If you consume the reserve of the snapshot, you work with is removed.  According to which EQL FW version, you can borrow from the free space.  This is especially true if you replace a VMDK set.   That will use up to the reserve very quickly...

  When you are finished with the EQL snapshot, make sure first that no VMs still use it.  Then put the instant EQL offline in EQL GUI.  And then do a rescan the iSCSI initiator in ESXi GUI.  This will cleanly remove the volume from the node ESXi.  Otherwise, he might try constantly to reconnect to the EQL snapshot, generating errors repeated in the EQL GUI and alerts if you have set up.

• Reference Dell EqualLogic HIT/VSM - VMware license terms.

  Hello.

  I read the release notes of Virtual Storage Manager 4.0, vSphere, conditions of licence, they are required:

  License terms for vSphere
  VSM comes with licenses and the following features:

  VSM: VSphere license any

  VASA: vCenter 5.0 or later version, ESXi 4.0 or later, any vSphere license
  In addition, the storage array firmware allows use the following features that VSM is installed:

  vStorage API for integration (VAAI) table: business, Enterprise Plus on ESXi license
  4.1 or later.

  Issues related to the:

  1. I'll be able to run VSM with vSphere Essentials Plus? VAAI at least requires vSphere Enterprise License. What are the consequences if I deploy with vSphere Essentials Plus.

  2 VSM supports ESXi 5.5 U2?

  Thank you

  Paul

  VASA is a feature you don't need basic VSM features.  Which is what the release notes are trying to say.   VASA allows VMware request more information on storage volumes.   I.e. through VASA VCS calls can show that a volume is RAIDed storage, integrates snapshots or replicas.   Currently, the usefulness of the VASA is limited, even when it is available.   VASA is the first step to VMware to better understand a storage array capabilities. More features will be coming in future versions of ESXi.

  However, to make the VASA work any, the storage provider must provide software 'glue' for specific HW calls of a query of VCS.   VSM, is what has the code, known as a "provider of VASA.   A translator of sorts.

• VSM in bound Mode

  I got on this forum as VSM 4 is not supported in linked however mode when I deploy VSM 2 one for each vcenter A and B in the web interface I am only able to manage the VSM who was installed last on B.

  No matter if I connect to the vcenters web interface A or B vcenters web interface I can only still manage theVSM that was installed last.

  Hello

  Sorry, but MSM v4 does any work in a connected mode environment that you discovered.  So you should either to change the configuration of VCS or not use VSM in that moment.

  Kind regards

• VSM 4 snaps and vmware

  Hello. I have an environment that consists of hosts esxi 5.1, vcenter 5.5 and 4 VSM. I have a question about recovering files of catch instant equalllogic. I did it with success in cloning the snapshot and the vmdk mounted another guest vm but it seems there is a better way to do it without wasting time and space through cloning. Since I already have a component data store snap-in can't get this data bank in vcenter? It won't let me see the data store of having the same signature as the data store existing. Is there a solution for this? Also can I add the vmdk from wink to my existing guest VM without any problems? I get a warning that the guest virtual machine already has a player with the signature, and it can cause starting problems when you use the clone vmdk. Thank you.

  To recover a file, I do not use VSM recover option.   I bring the snapshot online EQL GUI.  A new analysis on a node ESXi.   Do "Add storage" and will the snapshot.   Then I use a test VM and add the VMDK this VM.   Then you can copy the files you need quickly.   I use test VM, because when you did, you have to stop the virtual machine in order to remove the VMDK of this VM.

  One of the main reasons for the VSM uses is a clone, if you book enough reserve snapshot, the snapshot might get deleted during the restore process.    The partial copy would invalidate probably your VM and the worst case, there was only one snapshot lets you down.  A clone ensures that can't happen.

  If you want to copy a VMDK together, you can do that too.  Same process as above but don't add it to a virtual computer.  Using the VI client browse to the snapshot, find the VM and the right mouse on the VMDK and make a 'copy', then you can 'stick' on the origin of the VMDK.   It is faster I think.

  Remember, make sure you have instant reserve or active Instant loan if you want to do this.

  Finally, when you are finished with the snapshot, go to EQL GUI.  Put it in offline mode.  THEN go to the VI client and rescan this node.  Configuration-> adapters for storage-> right mouse on iSCSI adapter-> Rescan.

  Kind regards

• vCenter could not connect to the VSM Server

  I have SanHQ and HIT running well on vSphere 4.1. After upgrading vSphere 5.5 and HIT to 4 VSM, my new vCenter could not connect to the VSM server at all.

  1 VSM ip address must be configured on the management or iSCSI network?

  2. I have 2 vCenters to AC and DC, respectively. In this case, I have to install 2 VSM, each to each site? Note that although my VM networks on both sites and management are all connected via VPN, iSCSI networks are isolated.

  3. is it possible to deploy the VSM 3.5 and 4 so that the two vmware VI Client and Web Client have access to VSM features?

  VSM does not work with Linked vCenters mode so that a VSM would be able to access the two vCenters.

  You will need to deploy both VSMs.

  You cannot run two MSM 3.5.x and 4.0.x at the same time.

• VSM does not not after upgrade

  Hello

  I improved VSM 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 and then also improved 5.1 to 5.5 vSphere and now the VSM plug-in has disappeared. On the console when I start the VM I see this

  So I called EqualLogic support, they advised of any re - install a new device by downloading the full ISO (not the upgrade one).

  Apparently something in the Java machine is broken,... so I just did as they advised as I didn't have so many scheduled tasks listed VSM.

  You can also make a backup of the database and re - import into your new installation.

• VSM 4.0.1.2063 certificate expires 26.4.2014!

  Hello

  We deployed the VSM available 4.0.1.2063 a few weeks ago.
  The certificate will expire the 26.4.2014

  What happens when the certificate is expired?  What can we do?

  Concerning

  Great!   You'll be fine.  The VSM Web site just to get the diags, or be redirected to the VCS GUI web.  All communications to VSM for VCS is not made using this web certificate.

  It will get fixed in a future version of the VSM.
