PS 6100 and Hyper-V

Just set up my server EQL 6100 and r.620 (Windows Serer 2012 R2 Datacenter). I have Hyper-V configuration in the past, it will be the first on an EQL. It is a nonclustered environment. A server and an EQL. In the future (later this year), we will make another server in front to HA. The EQL occupies Raid 10.

My questions are the following:

1. for best practices, can we establish individual volumes for each virtual computer? Then put each VHD on the volume?

2. is there any way to get around the limit of 2 TB for a volume?

3. I plan give SQL its own volume. If I give SQL its volume (for example 1 to, that we're going to put a data warehouse on here), should I simply perform a default installation or should one make a smaller volume (80 GB) for the SQL o/s and join a D: (another volume, say 900 GB) for SQL?

I would like to hear how others have configuration and successes or failures.

Thanks for your time!

You select the host NIC that guests can use for iSCSI Yes. This should be a different NIC what the host uses for iSCSI.

If you need at least 4 NICs (NETWORK ports) network for iSCSI; 2 for the host and 2 for the guest (s).

  • SatPro 6100 and getting HI - SPEED USB Controller

    I have Toshiba SatPro 6100 and bought USB Stick Pro and when I insert it into my USB port a message appears asking a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The USB works OK, but can I get a host controller USB HI-SPEED for my machine? Is it a hardware problem or software? I use Windows XP prof with service Pack 2 installed. Is that what I can do to speed up my port and stop this message coming?

    Thank you

    According to my information, all the Satellite Pro 6100 have the Port USB Standard Version 1.1

    As far as I know there is no chance to speed up your USB Ports.

    Finally, I think that your 'USB Stick Pro' is the Standard USB compatible downwards, so that it works with your laptop satellite.

  • Ping issues - Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper v2008

    Hello

    I'm looking for a few windows networking procedure of experts here to solve these 2 problems.

    I'm very good in Linux but not in windows, networks than some basics on windows of course.

    I installed Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper-v 2008 on two machines different level of "WORKING group" because I'm small laboratory

    I done the settting up the ip addresses static, of the hostname (s) on those computers.

    Windows 2008 R2 => 192.168.1.60 - obiee

    Hyper-v 2008 => 192.168.1.61 - hyperv2008

    I have DNS running on 192.168.1.10 server and my linux local dns host: narayana.local

    I can ping linux boxes ping, ping hyperv2008 obiee hostnames - works perfectly

    I have a few problems in the windows operating system

    (1) i cannot set my computer full qualified domain name say obiee.narayana.local, hyperv2008.narayana.local - it can be a low priority

    (2) i don't can't ping using host names of these 2 machines - priority issue, I get a message

    C:\Users\Administrators > ping hyperv2008

    Ping request could not find the hyperv2008 of the host. Please check the name and try again

    = I can ping IP_address - works perfectly =

    (3) in view of these questions I can't control my hyper-v to obiee machine.

  • VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

    Ouch. I just started to do some Win Phone 8 and development Win, and all simulators are needed for development.

    This means that a dev to Win8 may only work on their host... I'm sure it would work in a virtual machine.

    Can I make for happy? (Hyper V might have to win here... sigh).

    VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

    Once you install the Hyper-V role on your host, your host is no longer running Windows 8 as the native operating system.  It runs Hyper-V as the native operating system, and Windows 8 runs as OS management within a privileged under Hyper-V VM.  With the Hyper-V role installed, * everything * runs in a virtual machine under Hyper-V.

    So to run a virtual machine under my computer in Windows 8 under Hyper-V, you must be able to run a nested VM.  It's possible with Hyper-V, the hypervisor host, but with the updates in custody, I mentioned above.

    Hello Pete

    I m wondering really the Power Saver doesn t work well on your laptop. This tool is one of the best tools designed Toshiba and it is very useful if you want to optimize laptop power consumption.

    I don't really know what the problem is here, but if you are not satisfied you can remove it from the system or simply use different power plan in power options properties.
    Maybe you should try to reinstall energy saver.

    Have you noticed another problem with your SP 6100?

    My company has 60 employees (and 60 desktops / laptops) and currently have an old principle that server solution of Microsoft Basic with element a cloud as Office 365 for email only. We seek to reduce the estate of server to Server (2 CPU - Dell PowerEdge T610), it currently runs on two old but not sterilized systems running Windows Server 2003 R2 (Dell PowerEdge 2900) and Windows Server 2008 R2 (Dell PowerEdge T610).

    In the short term, we want to create a brand new installation of MS Windows Server R2 Standard edition 2012 who will manage our advertising (and DC) and support businesses main accounting IRIS software that requires a MS SQL DB. This cloud all must be configured to allow integration with MS Azure Site recovery to allow us to turn up in the azure of the VM disaster. In my view, this means that the configuration of the OS as a Hyper-V virtual machine instance.

  • MD3220 and hyper-v CSV

    Hi all

    I'm trying to find information on the use of a MD3220 and 2012 Windows to create a node Hyper-v cluster to 4. According to the documentation that I realized I should be able to connect 4 knots, with redundant paths, to the MD3220 and allow all 4 to the same LUN host access.

    I intend to have a single disk RAID6 group mapped on all hosts.

    Then, I intend to configure each Hyper-v host with the LUN MD3220 presented as a CSV file.

    Is this valid/taken configuration supported? Are there guidelines to setup for this configuration?

    Hello jhodges8,

    Yes the configuration that you are trying to install will be supported because it meets the system requirements.  What I would do, is to add the Lun to a server within the Group and then add other servers, one by one.  Once you have all added systems so you can go the cluster installation.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • The Group PS6100XS and Hyper-V Server 2012: migration of storage between LUNS corrupts VM

    Well, I'm puzzled! Summer hit my head against this whole week. Basically, ranging from a virtual machine clustered LUN on the Bay EqualLogic corrupts the virtual machine. Here is my configuration:

    1. SAN 1: PS6100XS 6.0.1 firmware, 2 LUNS configured as CSV, 1 as a quorum disk
    2. SAN 2: FreeNAS 8.3.0, 2 LUN (ZFS-formatted, for what it's worth)
    3. Server 1: Dell R310 running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V installed feature. 4 network cards: 2 made team for traffic LAN, 2 for iSCSI with HIT KIT 4.5 configured for MPIO.
    4. Server 2: Old box SuperMicro running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V feature installed. 2 network cards: 1 for LAN traffic, 1 for iSCSI with HIT KIT 4.5 installed
    5. Created and all cluster validation tests passed
    Here's what works:
    1. Ranging from a virtual machine of the LUN if there is no activity on the VHDX
    2. Move a VM all LUN the EqualLogic to any number of unit logic FreeNAS or vice versa
    3. Move a VM between LUNS on the FreeNAS
    4. Move a VM between LUNS on the EqualLogic BEFORE I created the cluster (just using Hyper-V Manager, not the Failover Cluster Manager)
    This is what kills the VM whenever:
    1. Create a virtual machine through the Failover Cluster Manager - is not matter which node owns the storage or the VM - tried all combinations
    2. Take an active virtual machine, power and move a LUN EqualLogic to another EqualLogic LUN. The move signals the success, but the VM blue screen at the end of the move will and will no longer be able to start. It's basically fried.
    BTW, I tried also to disable one of the iSCSI NIC on the R310 - what does not help either. Any ideas? I have a case goes with the support of Dell EqualLogic, but so far they have been puzzled. Anyone got something like this works yet?

    OK, after Dell tried about 5 different times to tell me that my setup was not supported (actually claimed that EPA software was not supported!) I finally got someone who gave me workaround: disabling ODX by changing the key "reg" HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\FilterSupportedFeaturesMode from 0 to 1. This "fix", but it also takes one of the most interesting features of the 2012 Server + EqualLogic: ODX! With active ODX, I can move 20 GB in< 1="" sec.="" with="" it="" disabled,="" it="" takes="" around="" 2="" minutes,="" depending="" on="" network="">

  • question of 6.6 and Hyper-v vFoglight

    Everything seems fine to me, I can ping the host, UAC is disabled, firewall is disabled. Does anyone have any other suggestions, what should I look for?

    Hello Matt,

    What version of Hyper-V are you running? What is the authentication method (WMI/WinRM) the agent uses? My suggestion would be to open a support case to investigate the issue further.

  • Oracle VM and Hyper-Threading

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could comment on Oracle VM with vSMP and underlying hyper-threading with Intel 55xx series processors?

    If I remember correctly, Oracle used at least suggest HT has not been activated, but it applies to both virtual machines?

    Thank you!

    Does not relate to VM recommendation here. For Nehalem, I would recommend to enable as HT has been greatly improved.

  • Company of ESX and Hyper-V

    Hello

    As the topic States ESX Enterprise and HyperV an old topic.

    Right now were faced with a difficult decision that I was elected to do. We have been the assessment of VMware ESX Enterprise 3.5 in our environment for almost 2 years now and its been a great product and we love him. Especially features such as shared memory, the allocation of resources and the overcommittment. We used in a stand-alone (not SAN) environment.

    However, with the recent release of HyperV we just sort of a State in which we need to reassess our virtualization solution. For us fortunately or not we have a blanket license with MS so all MS products are free from us, including all versions of HyperV.

    So now that I need to make the decision between the 2, from my study of HyperV and usage of Enterprise ESX I find that it is a much more superior product for our environment - and now intend to move to the next step of the SAN. But before we even get there I need to somehow the VMware ESX Enterprise solution with its price around US$ 16000 against the free HyperV solution available.

    For me some points I can think of for VMware is:

    -Best active vs HyperV, which is based on the Windows CLustering so probably active clustering / passive is more appropriate (means we need a machine for HyperV standby)

    -Memory sharing

    -Control over failover since we can easily have different ESX hosts choose virtual machines and load any logic unit number in the SAN, then that HyperV as Windows cluster picks up a whole LUN that can contain multiple virtual machines

    -Features like "Fault Tolerance", WINS VMware vMotion in these

    But what I need to do, it's somehow justify spending an extra $16000 on ESX versus free HyperV that I find quite difficult. To start I tried cost/benefit calculation of the ratio of grouping given that consumes HyperV during the allocation of the resources of the VM takes the RAM once allocated from VMware that can share the memory save about 30%, but based on this alone, I do not think the additional VMs can I load on ESX is sufficient to cover the $16000 for the license of the company.

    Can someone give other pointers or advice on what you think.

    For others falling into the same situation where they compare hyper-v vs. VMware, I thought to let you know that ITComparison.com has updated their comparison in this respect & new can be found at:

    MS Hyper - V R2 vs VMware ESX 4

    I hope this helps someone, if she does not like Rewards points.
