Problem of SAN disk sharing

I am trying to share a SAN between ESX 4.0 and a 2008 physical disk server.  The windows Server 2008 has onit netbackup and netbackup must be able to see the same LUNS as the vmware esx so it can back up data through the fiber.  When we present a lun on the esx server and create a data store, then I try to bring back the same LUNS online on the windows 2008 server it will not go online it says device is not ready.  We did a test and present another windows 2008 server, and ESX server logical unit number and I brought the LUN online on the windows 2008 server but then I couldn't do a data store on the ESX Server.  What we lack to be abel to have two servers share the disks?

Please let meknow if anyone encountered this problem and the fix possible.

Thank you for your help

The snapshot for EMC San feature is an additional feature, so that you will have to pay.  You will need to speak with that whether you bought your San to to see if you can get this functionality or if you already have this feature.

  • Why the SAN disks and drives NAS recognized differently by the computer?

    Hi all;

    I'm a newbie in the sharing of storage.
    Why the SAN disks and drives NAS recognized differently by the computer? Computer sees SAN disks as local drives, NAS drives as network drive, even if they are all connected to the computer by the same network topology.
    I knew that SAN uses the block level transfer to transfer data all in SIN use level file transfer. Is that what this has something to do with which SAN and NAS drives are recognized differently by the computer? If so, how?

    Thank you.

  • I just discovered a problem of low disk. Yet, I have a 74.4 GB hard

    Hello

    I have a computer with Windows XP Professional and I just discovered a problem of low disk.   Yet, I have a 74.4 GB hard

    drive and have used only 15.9 GB.   I do not understand someone can help me.   I have a Virus Scanner and

    Registry scanner and I did all the updates to day and automatic updates for Windows.     I'm not a computer Wizard.

    So, please help me!

    Sharon

    Hard disks are disks for data storage that can be divided into one or more partitions (or volumes). RAM is a card that is placed in a memory slot in the motherboard. The motherboard may have a number of slots, often 2 or 4. As a backup of the system RAM memory will be temporarily store data in a file on the hard drive and it's virtual memory.

    Hard drives can be internal (inside the computer case) or external (outside the computer case).

    The system uses the RAM first, as it is faster to access, read and write, and for less immediate tasks of the system swaps out data for later use of RAM in the swap file on the hard drive.

    Not enough memory messages are normally because the system detects that there is a danger that it is shortly will have insufficient disk space to meet the needs of the system. It is perhaps because the allocated disk space is not enough to know that the allotted maximum play needs to be increased, or that there are not enough remaining free disk space to increase the size of the pagefile size. In your case, the messages are related to something else than the more common situation.

    In your case the problem is the Volume Shadow Copy service.
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy

    This service has disk space needs and the reserve system part of the disk only for its use. How it does and how to solve this problem, when things go wrong, is not commonly understood that is why I am fighting to give you simple instructions on how to solve your problem.

    A possible solution could be formatting your hard drive and a new installation of Windows and programs. It is a radical solution to what is an irritant, but probably not a problem that prevents you from using your computer. Reinstalling the operating system is not something I would recommend an inexperienced user company.

    What caused your problem? Most likely it was caused by your anti-virus program or a program like Registry Mechanic, or is the result of damage from malware (virus). You must uninstall Registry Mechanic by Add / Remove programs in the Control Panel now and we hope it's presence did not irreparable damage to the registry.

    What antivirus do you use? If it is Norton or McAfee that needs to go. Norton is particularly good to turn upside down the Windows operating system. If you have Norton you will need specific advice as the removal can be problematic. There are many appropriate freeware alternatives.

    my laptop running on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (this one has access to the internet by using the dial-up modem and will to act as a sharer of internet connection or as a host) and the client computer runs on Windows 7 Starter

    in a first step, I try internet connection sharing, I've set up an ad hoc network and I just changed my setting modem dial-up on the sharing tab, of course what I change, it of 'Allow an other network users to connect through this computer internet connection' and choose the on Home Networking connection wireless network connection , then my mobile client to connect to a special that I created and portable client connected to the internet via ICS
    then the problem came when I restart my laptop. When I tried to use ICS once again, my customer laptop really takes a long time to connect, he continues saying 'identification' side host and client. and after that "identify" is complete, it says ad - hoc connection, I create has "no network".
    so, I'm a person answer in this forum
    ' Obtain an IP address automatically is the wrong setting on the Ethernet connection.

    I tried a lot of things but always completed my mobile client can not connect to the internet and displays the message "no Internet access.

    What makes me confuse is first, I try to share the internet connection everything works like a charm, I set up an ad hoc network, and then change the setting on my modem dial-up so he can share the internet connection, and voila, computer laptop client connected to the internet. I change even not all IP settings

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    what you need to do is really, make sure the logic unit number is empty, remove the LUN of your stocks of VI.  From there, ask enterprise to after LUN storage team.  When they have been the team of storage upnpresented, rescan your storage adapters, and logical unit number should not be more visible to your VI.

  • Creating DAS or SAN Disk Partitions for ASM

    Oracle® database Installation Guide 11 g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/oraclerestart.htm#CHDBJGEB)

    * 3.6.3 step 2: * creating DAS or SAN Disk Partitions for Oracle Automatic Storage Management

    In order to use Oracle ASM a DAS or SAN disk, the disk should have a partition table. Oracle recommends to create a single partition for each drive.


    My question: why Oracle is recommended to create a single partition for each disc? For a disk to use on Suse Linux, I normally need at least 3 partitions, i.e., boot, swap and root.



    Scott

    These scores are for your operating system. Partitioning of a data disc is not very conducive to the continuation of the salary plan. Redundancy function what sense does make having 2 mirrors on 2 partitions on the same drive... When the disc goes down, you're toast. How you run your last command "Edit CV update s/n"

    As for the score, he should start cylinder 2 through . Crush the first 1 M drive will overwrite the table to partition and in the case of Solaris, the VTOC. (Virtual table) Without the VTOC table or partition, your device becomes a useless brick.

    If you have only a single disc, then ASM is not a storage solution that I would sue. You need a device for performance benefits.

    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.
