Powercli editable iscsi adapter logintimout?

HI - is it possible to change the value of an adapter logintimeout software iscsi (iscsi adapter | properties: Advanced: logintimeout) via powercli? We use a powercli script to run a new analysis of the adapters of iscsi on all our guests a at a time as needed. Recommended by our SAN provider recommends that we put logintimeout to 60 seconds, but that the fact for 15-20 minutes for each host rescan. Affecting the logintimeout value 5 seconds, temporarily, to analyze it again reduced the time to analyze again in 2-3 minutes per host, so I would include changing the logintimeout value in our script, but have not been able to find a way to do. Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

Hello, Kyle Powell-

As with most everything that begins, «Can PowerCLI...» ', the answer here is, "can of course. I didn't see a cmdlet 'standard' who will take care of this, so it's time for favorite of all, Get-view! Something like:

## make the array of options to update on the ISCSI adapters$arrISCSIOptions = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostInternetScsiHbaParamValue[] (1)$arrISCSIOptions[0] = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostInternetScsiHbaParamValue -Property @{    key = "LoginTimeout"    value = 5} ## end new-object

## get all hostsystems, along with a few, choice propertiesGet-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,ConfigManager.StorageSystem,Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | %{    ## get the HostStorageSystem for this hostsystem    $viewThisHostStorageSystem = Get-View -Id $_.ConfigManager.StorageSystem    ## for each ISCSI adapter in this host, update the InternetScsiAdvancedOptions    $_.Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.HostInternetScsiHba]} | %{        ## reference:  http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.host.StorageSystem.html#updateInternetScsiAdvancedOptions        $viewThisHostStorageSystem.UpdateInternetScsiAdvancedOptions($_.Device, $null, $arrISCSIOptions)    } ## end foreach-object} ## end foreach-object

Thanks to Onyx for the bit of the method to use here, "UpdateInternetScsiAdvancedOptions()". And, you can set the scope of these actions of config by getting fewer hosts, or less HBA per host, etc.

In any case, what to do for you?

How to add the software iSCSI adapter in vSphere, ESXi 5.0?

Hello
Please give me the steps to add the software iSCSI adapter in vSphere, ESXi 5.0.
Thank you.

Hello

In an earlier version of VMware ESXi software iSCSI adapter was included in the list of the storage card, but is not in the case of VMware ESXi 5.0. In ESXi 5.0 iSCSI adapters are not listed by default and must be activated first before we go away from configuration.

Hardware iSCSI adapter connection problems

HP DL385 G7 with 2 HP (Broadcom) NC550SFP Dual Port 10 GB adapters. ESXi 4.1 U2
You try to bind material load NC550 adapters to the good network card. When I list of the HBA association and the NIC.
esxcli - list of server servername swiscsi vmnic vmhba d #.
It displays the physical NETWORK card bad example vmnic0 which is a 1 GB card NETWORK configured as the VM network and network management
I had previously assigned iSCSI Software for the two vmnic adapter in the NC550SFPs. However when I list the cards for the iSCSI HBA software, it lists each NIC in the system.
Tried to simply bind the correct physical NIC to the iSCSI HBA hardware
esxcli - add a server servername swiscsi nic - n vmkx d vmhba #.
where vmkx is the physical NIC for the NC550 and the vmhba # is the HBA for the NC550
and it failed with: failed to add a network card
Attempted to delete the incorrect association
esxcli - server servername swiscsi nic remove - n vmkx d vmhba #.
where vmkx is the nic which was displayed in the list for hba named vmhba #.
and he returned: NIC is not bound
Do not know where to go next...

Hello

In addition my property would be to disable the iscsi Software initiator - you want to use only the hardware iscsi adapters, don't you.

Mixing software and hw adapter is not recommended method here, as far as I know.

What is the CLI command in ESXi 5 to check port was to bind to the iSCSI adapter.

Hello

It is the command in ESX 4.1 to verify that the iSCSI port is linked with the adapter

#esxcli swiscsi nic list vmhba d

I wanted to know the same command in ESXi 5 to check that my port is bind (I did with vSphere Client).

I pulled this same command, but it throws error "namespace" something.
Help, please.

There are some commands ESXCFG had replaced by some other commands in ESXi5. Please take a look at the link for all orders for replacement of ESXi5.0 below.

http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.VCLI.migration.doc_50/cos_upgrade_technote.1.9.html

"esxcli iscsi" is the command for all iSCSI related research in ESXi5.0.

Network with TOE iSCSI adapter

I'm going to my old server as a storage server and connect via iSCSI to new ESXi server. Former storage server will be linux with iSCSI software target machine. The question is: does make sense to have the NIC with TOE iSCSI on a new server if it is software target on the other? If so, then should I upgrade old server network adapter to one with TOE iSCSI? Or just buy without?

In this case, you can buy not NIC with TOE, iSCSI HBA with TOE, but, and there is no reason.

VMware 5.5 u1 - iScsi adapter hangs the system

Hi all
Last week I was not successful in improving the environment VMware 5.5 to 5.5U1. First installation well happened, set up the first ESXi host and created a profile of the host. So far so good, no major issues. Where to install the rest of the other 5 blade servers and applying the host profile all seem to work well while things went sideways when the environment has been stopped and restarted.
Te of installation as follows:
Servers Dell 1955 blades Center (x 6)
Switches Cisco 3030 connected to the blades of the
vCenter server as a virtual machine on the ESXi cluster
Manager upgrade from vCenter as a virtual machine
Distributed Virtual Switch configured
During the shutdown procedure I move all components of vCenter to a single host before feeding the server vCenter (Windows 2008). Then I stop the ESXi host using the management client as vCenter is no longer available.
Turn on the cycle must start this first ESXi host, connect to it and then powering the vCenter components. Once that of all DRS and power management is set to automatic, then the virtual machine simulation is started.
With 5.5 all worked well and no problems at all. When I installed 5.5 U1 I could no longer connect to the ESXi server and it gave a 503 error when it connects to it. Through the journal showed that the components on the file system was not found after what I decided to do a cleaning of the files install.
After the reinstallation of the entire batch, I connected to an ESXi host and helped the network and added the iScsi card. At this point, the system stops responding and the session between the client and the ESXi host is disconnected.
Running several tests, I have concluded that something must be wrong with the components of virtual disk system, iScsi or vSan. 5 of 6 guests will be deployed to vmware 5.5 as vmware 5.5U1 is not stable...
Can use some to help solve this problem I will leave 1 server in the current state, is to identify the root cause because I'm stuck at the moment. Later, I'll post a few newspapers of sections of the file with the errors that I have identified. (Pass it restart does not solve the problem)
Kind regards

Hi Martin,

Could you please check the hardware compatibility list. I couldn't see Center blade server Dell 1955 support in 5.5U1 HCL.

iSCSI adapter does not appear in the storage adapter

Hello
I have Dell PowerEdge 2950 with VMWare ESXi 5.0 is installed. I use Nexsan Fibre Channel disks as storage array. I have an Emulex HBA OCÉ 11102 iSCSI on the server that is compatible with ESX 5.0 I found here http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=base & deviceCategory = io.
So, from what I understand read that documentation of ESXi, the iSCSI HBA is supposed to appear in the storage card from the vSphere console configuration tab. In my case it appears as NIC even after that I reread mutiple times. Do I need to configure it so that it shows in the storage card?
Thanks in advance.

Have you installed the following driver?

http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/dt_esx50_emulex_be2iscsi_413343/dHRAYndlamViZHAlJQis

There is another one for the network function, perhaps you mixed them?

iSCSI and adapter NC550SFP

Hi all
I have adapters HP NC550SFP with ESXi 4.1 for an iscsi (10 G, control flow and frames configured) network.
My configuration is up to now using the "iscsi software map" in vmware... because I see no support for adapter hardware iscsi for these cards. My questions are:
1 the NC550SFP is supported by a hardware iscsi adapter?
2 should I worry used with 10Gig iscsi software adapter?
Thanks for your time... I'm a newbie to iscsi here... so I would like to do things properly before putting them on the prod!
Glenn

1 the NC550SFP is supported by a hardware iscsi adapter?
2 should I worry used with 10Gig iscsi software adapter?

1. I see iSCSI on the plug on HP, but no confirmation that it is a hardware iSCSI HBA. It should be appear under storage adapters if she supports the iSCSI hardware.

2. I don't think you should be concerned. ISCSI HBA hardware will take off the part of the processing load and overhead of off the VMkernel (CPU and memory). But you can see the small difference with the new processors and memory that we have in the servers today.

iSCSI iSCSI Software adapter or Broadcom adapter?

This is a bit of follow up a thread on a previous post. But I noticed that my BL490c G6 5 hosts have a software adapter and Broadcom iSCSI adapt. Although I have nothing under Broadcom cards.
Is there a difference in performance between these two? In my head, material should be better than software, but it seems software as default.
I found this KB, indicating he may be some Fiddlers involved to get ESX to use Broadcom cards, but is it useful?
http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1025644
The iSCSI SAN is a StorageWorks P4300 G2.

The BCM5709 equivalent and can slightly reduce the amount of work the CPU has to do, but does not support Jumbo Frames.

If you are network switches or a table do not support frames then using the capabilities of unloading of these NICs is good.

If frames Jumbo is supported by the two switches and table so it is best to use the iSCSI HBA software.

How to add more target iSCSI with static discovery

Try to add multiple entries of static discovery for a set of hosts in the cluster. I can add the first entry by running the following PowerCLI

Get-vmhost 'vdi1.vdi.sf.local ' | Get-VMHostHba-Type iScsi. New-IScsiHbaTarget-address '172.27.32.30' nomiscsi - iqn.2010 - 01.com.solidfire:bbup.desktop01.2514 - ChapName VDI-desktop computers - ChapPassword j0iT18i17Vp4su > r ChapType - required - static type

However, whenever I try to add the following entries to static discovery (I have 22 to add to the same discovery IP address) I get the following error message:

New-IScsiHbaTarget: 27/10/2014-09:17:28 new-IScsiHbaTarget the specified target

Can I add multiple static targets to a single iSCSI server IP address just right with esxcli, but I'd rather this fact directly in PowerCLI without using $esxcli if possible.

I must be missing something simple. Any help is very appreciated.

As far as I know, it is not possible with the current construction of PowerCLI to set several iScsiNames on the same target.

You use the $esxcli I'm afraid.

Is there a way to remove the software iSCSI 10W?

Hello
We have helped the software iSCSI adapter, add 'Vitrtual Switch' and 'Port group' for iSCSI testing.
Now, we have already deleted the virtual switch and would like to know if it is possible to remove the software iSCSI adapter?
OR Alternatively, we can leave the adapter software there without deleting?
Thank you
Post edited by: TonyJK

You can remove the software iscsi adapter by disabling everything first. Under the SWiscsi adapter > properties > configure > disable activated.

After that, the server will request a reboot for the change.

After this restart, swiSCSI adapter would have been automatically deleted.

-HTH,

find the number of map software iscsi vmhba

Hi, im trying to write scripts for automation but I find on different server models the software iscsi adapter varies from vmhba32 to vmhba39
Is it possible that I can find that number using powercli so I can put it as a variable to be used for another command later in the script?
Thank you

Forget the bug with iscsi.

It's the derivation
```
$esxName = 
(Get-VmHost $esxName).StorageInfo.ExtensionData.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter | where {$_.Model -like "iSCSI Software Adapter" -and $_.Status -notlike "unbound"} | Select Device
```

Connections iSCSI how much should I see?

Hi all

Also posted here - iscsi connections how do I see?-Spiceworks and here - communities.vmware.com/.../520622

Running ESXi 5.5 and a PS4100X Equallogic, hoping someone point me in the right direction on something I noticed.

Recently installed a MD3220i (https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1114594-iscsi-port-binding-daft-question)

After start installation and connection iSCSI can be quite long (as expected by using binding with several subnets iSCSI ports) but my question is not related to this.

I came today to see what I can do to improve the time of starting, perhaps using static rather than dynamic discovery, and I noticed something weird.

The Equallogic we have 2 NIC, 10.11.14.1 and 10.11.14.2. When using dynamic discovery I enter the IP address of the Group (10.11.14.253) and I get 8 connections, one for each IP address on the ESXi hosts to each IP addresses on the equallogic, see screenshot iscsi1.png

Any fine.

If I then switch to static and put 2 entries in by the data store (one for each NETWORK card on the equallogic) (see the screenshot iscsi2.png) then what I see in the equallogic is 16 connections to the host. Each data store is connected twice for each NETWORK card on the host, everyone via network cards on the equallogic, see screenshot iscsi3.png.

I don't know if it's better or worse! I have several paths, so it should be better? Or I have many paths, and the system will get confused?

Thank you

Hello

The best option to avoid the delay is for something like the broadcom iSCSI adapter unloading. ISCSI S/W adapter would be bound to network adapters for volumes MD, (or bind something here and use several subnets rather) the unloading adapter would then manage the EQL triaffic. This prevents the long startup delay since all related network cards trying to reach the defined all discovery addresses.

I have never tried to use only addresses static w/ESXi, so I can't really talk about why you get the additional connections. Unless it still makes a discovery, or the old static entries were still there after you have changed static.

Kind regards

Migration of the iscsi initiator software to hardware initiator on 2012 Hyper-v cluster.

Hello

We have 10 blades x M620 with Broadcom 10gig 57810 M1000e CMC card dedicated for iSCSI Equallogic PS 6110 San.

Currently software used on cluster hyper-v Windows 2012 connect SAN PS6110 iscsi initiator.

150 VMS are in production on 15 CSVs.

We want to change the initiator of the software to the hardware on all our existing blades without CSV output.

Is it possible on hyper-v cluster 2012 to have 5 blades with initiator software and remaining 5 blades with hardware initiator with same CSV cluster?

If coexistence of initiator software and material as possible through hosting then I can apply this change a bit on our 10 blades without cluster downtime.

Hello

What version of FW EQL do you use?

Yes, it is possible, however a couple of updates warn first.

1.) install the latest firmware / boot code and driver for Broadcom cards.

2.) put the node into maint mode then you can disconnect the SW iSCSI provenance and sign in using the HW iSCSI adapter.

3.) do not try to do it with an active node / online.

The advantage of the HW iSCSI adapter reduces the CPU Overload, if you are maxing out the CPU not now, do not expect a large increase in performance after HW iSCSI card.

Kind regards
