PS6500E and VMWare/ESXi 4.1

Hello

Small question, more a validation test:

I have an EqualLogicPS6500E with 4 ports of both controllers connected to a switch, and each ESXi host has 4 links of iSCSI network dedicated to this switch.

Stats show that we cannot not probably 4 all connected at the end of the host (4 guests) and the 2 links would be probably nice. I need also the switch ports to spare for an additional EqualLogic SAN at the pool with the first - and we are from ports. At the same time, I can't really not extend more than switches I want the disturbance to try to add a new Dell Powerconnect to ring 2 (bottom of linked basket).

4 network cards ends by a software iSCSI adapter in ESXi.

What is the best way to remove unwanted links 2?

I guess:

(1) remove 2 of the 4 VMKernel vSwitch iSCSI ports

(2) remove 2 of 4 iSCSI vSwitch NETWORK cards

Isn't it? I have a feeling that I forgot something... I have not set these manually - rather, I used the setup.pl script provided with the MPIO EqualLogic to bundle driver VMWare.

Thanks a lot :)

Tim

You too unbind 2 VMKs swISCSI Module first and you can begin to remove the VMKs the vSwitch. I also prefer a reboot of the host after having finished the job.

Kind regards

  • CUCM 8.6 and VMWare ESXi 5.0 compatibility

    Hello guys.

    I intend to install CUCM 8.6 on VMWare with 5.0 ESXi hypervisor. On the wiki page of cisco on virtualization for UC I found that information on the compatibility with the hypervisor, ESXi 4.0 or 4.1.

    So my question is:

    -Does anyone know about the compatibility between 8.6 CUCM and ESXi 5.0?

    S ' there is no document on installion CUCM 8.6 on ESXi 5.0 you can send me a link?

    Thanks /.

    He did not complete the test again, this is why you don't see it on the DocWiki. You must continue using ESXi 4.1.

  • VMware ESXi 4.1.0 and snapshot problem - no disk space

    Hi all

    We now have a big problem with our free space on the disk. We are using VMware vSphere (vSphere Client ver 4.1.0 and VMware ESXi ver 4.1.0):

    Our vm has 2 HDD (500 GB, 1 TB). Now we have only 20 GB of free disk 1 and several snapshot files. To remove the snapshot, we need more than 20 GB of free space (corect?). What we need to do more free space? We can move snapshot files from the first disk to the second disk?

    First of all, you can redirect your new snapshot on another store/disk as explained in this article "http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002929".

    Secondo, you can delete snapshot older and smaller but not all together as explained in this article by Duncan Epping "http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/01/07/delete-all-snapshots/."

  • Cannot assign a license to VMware ESXi 5.0 hosts

    Dear all,

    I installed vCenter Server 5.0 standard IBM x 3550 M4 and VMware ESXi 5.0 Standard for two M4 IBM 3650 x servers. I can attribute vCenter Server Standard 5 license to vCenter Server 5.0 but I can't affect VMware vSphere 5 Standard licenses for both ESXi 5.0 servers. Each server has 2x6Cores 2.3 GHz CPU (12 cores total). VMware vSphere 5 licenses that we purchase are VMware vSphere 5 Standard for 1 processor (VS5-STD-C) x 12, which is unlimited cores per processor. Can someone tell me what is the problem here and the reason why I still can't assign license to two 5.0 ESXi hosts.

    Rgds,

    Syairus

    If I understand correctly you have 12 licenses for 1 CPU each! In order to assign a license to a host of the CPU, the license capacity must be equal to or greater than the number of the host CPU. You can combine licenses in the portal My VMware.

    BTW. for two host with 2 CPU each, you need only 4 licenses of CPU (not 12), as processors/sockets are allowed, not carrots.

  • Just installed vmware ESXi 4.0.0.  Also have Workstation 6.5 I have a few questions here...

    Good day, I am new and vmware esxi virtualization in general...

    I installed the server esxi 4.0. and I want to welcome a few virtual machines on this server. I tried the ViCLient and really like it. But this customer is a 60 day trial and it costs $ 1,000 per license, if I understand correctly...

    I also have the Vmware workstation 6.5 software.

    My main goal for this is to be able to import and export on the esxi virtual machines, create snapshots, export these snapshots, etc... I'm not too familiar with Workstation 6.5 so, but so far, it does the job in terms of export and imprting vms from the ESXi. But I would like to be able to browse the data store, create virtual machines on the esxi without having to create them locally AND export to ESXi...

    I would like to be able to create, manage, copy, create and import/export snapshots, to/from the esxi, but I guess you can't do all this using VmWare Workstation? I would buy the Vsphere CLient, but I'm not one who has a hand on the budget of COMPUTING...

    When you access download ESXi you license number appears near the top of the page. Enter this number in the Configuration tab under license vSphere client.

  • VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  • Best practices in VMWare ESXi 3.5 installation and deployment of VMDK u3?

    Hi all

    I'm about to implement virtualization on my business technology

    I've got these resources to be used by VMWare ESXi 3.5

    Dell PowerEDGE 2950 III

    • 32 GB DDR - II 667 MHz

    • internal 4 x 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD (RAID 5) - I know that it's slow to host the VMDK

    • Internal USB slot on the motherboard (but not USB flashdisk?)

    Dell PowerVault MD3000

    • 10 x 300 GB SAS 15 k RPM

    • 2 x Dual port Gigabit Ethernet NIC (x 4 in total)

    • iSCSI - 2 x Gigabit Ethernet for the switch (mute not to VLAN)

    I wonder where I should install the VMWare ESXi? for the VMDK, I believe that the deployment in the SAN is the right place.

    and any suggestion for the use of the SATA HARD drive internal?

    any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You mean Deployment.jpg diagram?

    In this case, there is an error.

    You need a network 2, not 4.

    Each controller and each NIC (on ESX) must have an IP in a net and another IP in the second NET.

    ESX guests 4 targets, 2 in a net, 2 in the other.

  • R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

    That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

    www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    www.Dell.com/.../manuals

    indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

    I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

    ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
    Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

    megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

    Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

    This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

  • Reference Dell R710, Dell and VMware VAAI MD3200

    Hi guys, we have 3 x Dell R710 hosts running VMware ESXi hypervisor v5.1. Our SAN is via Dell MD3200 Direct attached storage. We have activated the option of High Performance. My question is about VMware VAAI. In particular, the recommendation of VMware: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1033665 it says: "For more information on support VAAI in a particular storage group or required firmware levels, contact the storage array provider." So I'm wondering: is VAAI supported (or not) with the MD3200... and otherwise: should I be deactivation of VAAI settings as recommended by VMware? What are the potential implications for the performance of deactivation of VAAI... or support DO NOT turn it off? Thank you, Steve

    Indeed, you are using a fairly old firmware. The most recent is 07.84.53.60.

    To be able to upgrade to this version, you will need a version quite familiar of the MDSM. I would say to download 4.1.2.29 or later, which is 5.0.0.70. All servers Windows and Linux (not VMware or XenServer) server that manage and/or are connected via iSCSI SAN should have their MDSM, updated software before upgrade you the firmware on the raid on the SAN controller.
