PowerVault MD3420 support for vSphere, Esxi 6.0 6.0?

Hello

We ordered 4 R730 servers "nine" with 12Gbps SAS and a SAN MD3420 cards. ESXi hosts are preinstalled with ESXi version 6.

Once we have installed 40 VMs on that, we now see that after a reboot, the HBA does not detect the LUNS. Only after the adapter cables HBA and their reversal, it detects the. Also in the selection of the HBA path I see all the options like "round robin" etc.

When I check the site of VMware, it looks all DELL powervault MD32xx/MD34xx without DOING to support ESXI 6.0, with the exception of the MD3420! I checked it before and are beginning to doubt myself / or if the compatibility on the Web site has changed.

http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=san&productid=36288&deviceCategory=san&details=1&partner=23&arrayTypes=4&isSVA=0&page=1&display_interval=10&sortColumn=Partner&sortOrder=Asc

Is there a driver or updated to be less expected the first weeks, or should I start without downgrading all my VMs and esxi hosts to version 5.5? It's really a shortcoming that I think that the package came with preinstalled 6.0.

Best regards

Joris

I found the solution by installing another driver in the list of lsi, and then disable the native driver.

The appropriate driver is not in the image of DELL ESXi 6.0 A00.

In short, all this on each host:

[root@*:~] software esxcli vib install v - /vmfs/volumes/DS_SAN_DG2VD1/ISO/scsi-mpt3sas_10.00.00.00-1OEM.600.0.0.2494585.vib

Result of the installation

Message: The update completed successfully, but the system must be restarted for the changes to be effective.

Restart required: true

VIBs installed: Avago_bootbank_scsi - mpt3sas_10.00.00.00 - 1OEM.600.0.0.2494585

  • Support for vSphere versions?  And rights of vCenter

    Is "vSphere 4.1 Update 1" supported by VCB 1.5 Update 2?

    One last question (I think) - what rights should the user on the server "vCenter Server" VCB itself?  -J' I unuderstand what rights it needs in vCenter, but the quesiton is related to logging in the vCenter Server with a user name and password. Does just the possibility to connect in the vCenter Server, or does - she need the administrator rights on the server?

  • support for vSphere on Windows 2008 R2

    Hello

    We run VMware ESX 4.0.0 236512 and Windows 2008 R2 is still in the experimental. This is the case, or if I'm missing some updates?

    fix. Upgrade your vCenter4 to U1 server and who can solve your problem.

  • Consolidation of support for Windows Server 2008

    In the statement of support for vSphere for Server 2008 clustering, he mentions that the two nodes of 2008 should not belong to a cluster HA/DRS.  We currently have our cluster designed to accommodate all guests (HA/DRS active) in the data center.  Excluding the HA/DRS features for VMs individual cluster node, will support us?

    TIA

    -Rick

    The documentation is that if you have virtual machines in a cluster HA/DRS then you don't are not supported.  You will need to disable these functions on the entire cluster for real assistance.  That said, I have this configuration and have been able to call VMware to support without problem.  This does not mean that you will have the same experience, but my guess is that they would support you if necessary.

    You can also see fault-tolerant VMware (FT), but you must understand the differences between MSCS and FT.  If you're upgrading clustering an application such as Exchange, I wouldn't use FT and would use rather MSCS.  Everything depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what fits best. Also remember that FT does not provide protection at the hardware level, so a lack of application level would be replicated on two virtual machines.

  • Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

    I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

    According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

    Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

    Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

    Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

    Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  _

    Micky

    Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

    Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

  • ESXi 5.1 - insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA

    Hi, I tried to understand why there are insufficient resources to supply an only little VM in my vSphere cluster.

    2 X 5.1 ESXi hosts

    Each host has

    2 x processors (8 cores each) with HT active

    192 GB OF RAM

    vSphere HA has been activated.

    Admission control policy set to "tolerate failures of the host in the cluster" with the value 1.

    With 2 GB of vRAM and 1 vCPU has created a virtual machine.  No memory and CPU Hotel booking.

    I put one of the host in maintenance mode and try to turn on the virtual machine, but it failed to power upward with the error "insufficient resources to meet the configured switch level for vSphere HA.

    Am I missing something?

    Thank you

    Alex

    I put one of the host in maintenance mode and try to turn on the virtual machine, but it failed to power upward with the error "insufficient resources to meet the configured switch level for vSphere HA.

    When having two hosts only no host doesn't stay for failover when one of these hosts are in maintenance mode... That is why it gives you this message...

  • ESXi nested 5.0 FT question-> i7-2600, not supported for FT?

    Hi guys, I had an i7-2600 on a motherboard ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen 3 as a whitebox ESXi 5.0 configuration.

    I virtualized 2 ESXi 5.0 in a cluster with a nested running Linux VM vMotion & Storage vMotion works very well.


    If I turn on the FT central while nested VM is running, I get this error:
    The virtual machine is running in a monitor mode that is not compatible to the fault tolerance.

    If I stop the nested VM and enable FT, I met following th:
    An unexpected error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vm-441.
    Unable to access the mode for fault tolerance.
    Recording/playback is supported for VMS 64-bit only on some processors. Cancellation of recording/playback.

    I applied the settings of such reading mentioned in http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-nested-vft-virtual-fault.html
    the Linux VM nested.

    Stock of Intel VT physics 5.0 ESXi host and two guests of vESXi:
    ~ # esxcfg-info | grep "HV Support"
    |----HV Support............................................ 3
    | - World Command Line... grep HV Support

    SiteSurvey on the host physical and vESXi hosts all showed:
    Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz CPU processor type is not supported by FT.

    Am I right to say that in my current setup nested FT should work if I changed the CPU to one of those enrolled in
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1008027

    OR are having at least 2 physical ESX hosts the only way to have the full support of the FT?

    I'm sorry.  I would have paid special attention to your message.  FT is not actually supported in a nested environment.  Proofreading of the translation binary (replay.allowBTOnly) is not supported and is available for 32 - bit reduced nested.

  • not supported for ESXi 4 NIC... Can I simply add a NETWORK card?

    Maybe it's painfully obvious, but I don't want to assume anything.  I tried to install ESXi 4u1 this morning on a machine just to see if it would work, and I have not reported any supported network cards.  Can I buy a NETWORK card support and then ESXi 4 will work?  Is it really as simple as that, or is there some other stuff that I'm not aware of?

  • vDS now comes with the NSX for vSphere

    Hello

    I found a few kb articles saying that we can use vDS on any edition of vSphere with the NSX.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2135310

    • If you are using VMware vSphere 5.5 update 3 or vSphere 6.0.x, NSX VMware vSphere 6.x does not require a license of vSphere Enterprise Plus and can run on any edition of vSphere.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1010555

    • Note: vDS is now delivered with NSX to vSphere (NSXv) and VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) in vSphere 6.0.


    I've implemented the vSphere environment with the standard license and NSX for vSphere with the license of the company.

    But I can't use vDS. If I can create new vDS on vCenter, I can't add hosts with standard license to a vDS.


    I used below products.


    • ESXi 6.0.0
    • vCSA 6.0.0.
    • NSX for vSphere 6.2.1


    Have someone at - he tried vSphere standard with NSX license ?

    If I could, might have some tips?

    Any kinds of comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Danne

    Thank you. In this case, I think you're right. I have not tried specifically because I rarely see Standard.

    Please open an SR for support can examine why this is happening. Sorry I can't be more help.

  • How can I know raid 0 SSD when I install Vsphere ESXi 6?

    Hello

    I would say for me to understand in advance because I can't speak English well.

    Today, I tried to install ESXi vsphere 6 on ssd drive that put in raid0. RAID0 consisted of two 500 GB drives.

    When I install Windows Server R2 2012 to check the status of the raid 0, I can see good about 1 TB drive and when I try to install vsphere 6 ESXi, I see two 500 GB drives. It didn't consist of raid 0

    Why can't vsphere ESXi 6 recognize raid 0 disk?

    Frankly, defining VMware products is the first time today. Please explain and tell me to resolve method.

    This questions is more likely caused by an unsupported software RAID controller. VMware supports only hardware RAID controllers that have the physical disks and logical volumes for operating systems. Some hardware manufacturers provide additional drivers for their own material as well.
