• How to locate the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Hi all

  Please help on this

  How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Concerning

  Vijay

  Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

  In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

• Two R810s, each with two 8Gb Fiber Channel HBA + MD3620F + MD1220

  Hi people.

  I am planning an installation on this end, and I'm tender hand in the hope that the community can help me carry this all together.

  To explain, I have two servers Dell PowerEdge R810, each with two 8 GB HBA Fibre Channel adapters.

  I also have a Bay SAN of Dell PowerVault MD3620F 8 Gbps, with two controllers.

  I also have a Dell PowerVault MD1220 DAS SAS Expander Bay.

  I think to connects both R810 servers directly to the MD3620F, in order to consume all ports of four CF on the MD3620F. That is, one in each controller, from two HBAs in each server. (I can do this, or do I need a Fibre Channel switch? The MD3620F has 4 available ports, 2 per controller, so it would seem to be a natural configuration for only these two servers)

  Then, I will link the MD1220 to the MD3620F, so that its readers are also accessible through the two R810s on the link of Fiber Channel 8 Gbps. (what is the process to connect a MD1220 to a MD3620F?)

  Thoughts, tips, suggestions?

  Thank you

• Fibre Channel card configuration on the host esx 5.1

  Hi all,

  I have three 5.1 esxi hosts.  I have new port 2 8G Fibre Channel cards installed in each and pass the cable FC since the card port goes to the fiber.

  It's my first time in collaboration with CF cards VMware hosts, what else should I do for these cards to be active or updated network in?  A good explanation, Docs and or video would be extremely welcomed.

  Just ask EMC technology to make the zoning on the SAN switch and the LUN masking and card introduced volumes to your hosts on the side storage... after the volumes, simply go to your ESXi, rescan your HBA and create data warehouses.

• EtherChannel or fiber channel on 3508?

  When you aggregate several fibers together on G 3508 GBIC, you configure as an etherchannel or fiber channel? I have looked around online for hours, but can not find what it mentioned anywhere.

  Thanks in advance,

  Brian

  EtherChannel (or link aggregate, or whatever you prefer).

  Fibre channel is a data link protocol used in storage networks and a different protocol for ethernet.

• VSphere storage system and fiber channel

  I am looking to buy a San fiber channel (HP P2000 G3), 2 switch fabric and 2 servers DL380G7.

  I just installed SAN iSCSI so far, so I'm pretty new to Fibre Channel storage.

  I'm looking for white papers on VSphere and the P2000 SAN to ensure that it is correctly installed and optimize!

  Is that all I need to know about configuring HP P2000 and VSPhere?

  Is there a documentation existing on this subject?

  Thank you!

  Well, that's something to ask HP and EMC. Maybe with the next Firmware update of recommendation changes policy.

• Fiber Channel processor not mounted

  I have four nodes esxi5.0.

  In some hosts, there is a channel of fiber not mounted processor.

  The other hosts in the same Fibre Channel processor is mounted.

  How can I change the Fibre Channel assembled processor?

  There is no difference in configuration between hosts.

  Thank you.

  

  Gents,

  I had the same problem with ESXi 5.0 U1. My problem was:

  1. Put the server in maintenance mode
  2. Enable SSH and log in as root
  3. -Run: esxcli storage device together--State = off d
  4. -Run: esxcli storage device together--State = on d
  5. Logout and disable SSH
  6. Refresh the view of storage cards

  I hope this helps!

• Correct configuration for access Fiber Channel AAA

  Hello all, I have searched for the correct configuration access the MDS 9124 fibre channel passes to the CSACS 1121 with 5.4.

  I find pieces, but I'm probably set up groups incorrectly.

  On the side of the switch, I have this:

  FiberA (config) # executed sho | include the aaa

  AAA server Ganymede group + sasTac +.

  AAA server Ganymede group + yokTac +.

  RADIUS AAA radius server group

  AAA authentication login default group sasTac +.

  Accounting sasTac AAA + default group

  RADIUS-server key 7 "09754F021046461S020731".

  RADIUS-server host 10.7.4.22 touch 7 'fewhg '.

  RADIUS-server host 10.207.5.21 touch 7 'fewhg '.

  RADIUS-server host 10.207.5.22 touch 7 'fewhg '.

  RADIUS-server host 10.7.4.23 touch 7 '09754F021046461C020731 '.

  RADIUS-server host 10.7.4.24 touch 7 '09754F021046461C020731 '.

  AAA server Ganymede group + sasTac +.

  Server 10.207.5.21

  Server 10.207.5.22

  AAA server Ganymede group + yokTac +.

  Server 10.7.4.22

  RADIUS AAA radius server group

  On the side of the ACS, I have cisco-av-pair = shell: roles = 'admin network' for the command set.

  Groups in the switch are the remains of the previous configuration; However, I can't find the setting anywhere in the old ACS version 3.3.

  On the post of Jatin Katyal, I found links to explain the implementation of devices, but the links are dead.

  I am pleased that you guessed it running. Thank you for posting to the forum and let us know that you fixed it and what you have done to address them. This information could be useful to some other drive in the forum who will work with these switches at some point. It's this kind of information sharing that makes the forum so useful and valuable.

• How do I rescan fiber channel without having to reboot host

  Hello

  I have a few questions regarding the removal of LUNS and vmotion.  My first question is that I can't seem to be able to delete a LUN in vsphere client 5.  I get the error message but I think it's because guests can still see the LUN.  I unpresented this LUN in command mode and deleted.  Now in vsphere client, the logic unit number shows idle and when I do a new scan task's not going anywhere.  It seems that the host cannot see that LUN more and is having a heart attack.  The worst is that vmotion does not work when this happens.  So to fix this I had to reboot the esx host.  Once the host is back online this LUN disappeared and vmotion works again.

  Now my problem is that I have 32 esx host and I don't want to have to restart all the and the fact that vmontion does not work I can not migrate the virtual machine between hosts.  Is there a way to force guests to rescan the channels fiber so that they will not see the deleted LUN more or is there another solution for this?

  Thanks in advance

  It sounds as if you did not remove the VMFS datastore before unpresenting/remove the logic unit number!

  There are different as KB to remove a datasbase in vCenter Server data store, but those who are for v4.x and I'm not sure if they apply to the v5.0 as well (e.g. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026661) maybe a restart of management on hosts agents will cancel the deleted LUN, have you tried this already?

  You can also take a look at best practices: how to properly remove a unit logic of an ESX host number

• Fiber collage card

  Can someone tell me if it is possbile to stick (2) 2GB fiber in that QLogic cards and ESX 3.5 server to reach 4 GB speed?

  If so, what is needed to achieve this?

  I know that you can stick NIC in ESX.

  TIA

  DT

  In a SAN environment, you must use the MPIO feature.

  If you vSphere Enterprise Plus you can purchase and add PowerPath/VE.

  Otherwise, you will need to use MPIO ESX and a simple way is to create more LUNs, store different processor and use the different path for each lun.

  In vSphere (or experimentally in ESX 3.5), you can also try to play with politics walkway, but IMHO, I prefer the solution LUN/different way"."

• Oracle forms 11g can be deployed on the WebSphere from IBM server?

  I found the following paragraph regarding the Middleware components that are supported on IBM WebSphere, but this list does not specifically mention the Oracle Forms or Oracle reports.  Does anyone know if Oracle Forms and reports works OK on the IBM WebSphere server?   Thank you!

  You can configure the following Oracle Fusion Middleware components on the servers of third-party application support:

  • Oracle SOA Suite
  • Oracle WebCenter Portal
  • Oracle WebCenter content
  • Oracle Data Integrator
  • Oracle Business Intelligence
  • Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF)
  • Oracle Application Developer Runtime

  For this release of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, Oracle supports only IBM WebSphere Application Server as an application server third-party for these products to Oracle Fusion Middleware.

  Oracle Forms/Reports 11 is not supported with WebSphere.  Its installation requires the deployment in Oracle WLS 10.3.x.

• ESX 4.1 installation fails (accidents and loops) on IBM server

  Framework

  Server IBM x 3350 4193-AC1 model

  BIOS 1.37 (2008)

  --------------------------------------------------

  You could never run a VMWare ESX / I produced on this server?

  Yes, ESXi 4.0

  And Yes, it's true. I could install ESXi (ESX with an 'i' at the end) and use it to test for about 1 year.

  Now, I want to practice with ESX (without 'i') and thought, I might as well install the latest version.

  ------------------------------------------------

  What is going on?

  I am able to boot from the CD.

  I opt to install using the GUI.

  The installation wizard starts.

  Preliminary checks are OK.

  Some lines appear quickly on the screen and I remember the word "weasel" in particular.

  I have the ability to install custom drivers and I chose the 'no '.

  Hypothesis (good or bad...): this server has been in the HCL for 4.0, so it should be good for 4.1.

  Then, at various times during the installation of drivers (I tried this 5 times +), the ESX install wizard accidents (the screen becomes black) and restart of the entire servers.

  He has crashed (and then rebooted) at the very beginning of driver loading and section at the end, just after the 100%

  It crashed when loading "62vmfs" and "34.storage - pilot.

  If ever systematically on a specific driver.

  This failure seems to coincide with a yellow light on the IBM Light Path Diagnostics module lighting: NMI.

  In the BIOS system log refers to "Message Code 00152100"

  I can erase the amber light (managed to turn off the power) by stopping the server completely (pulling on the power cord), then by restarting the whole process - with the same results.

  Search on Google, I've seen a few references to NMI but referring to a HP Server.

  Any ideas?

  According to the HCL (http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php) your firmware must be updated. Make sure that all components of the server (in particular the RAID controller) are listed on the HCL for version 4.1and have the current firmware.
