Reference DELL Blade - Ethernet Passthrough with ESX 4

I have an environment DELL M1000e blade with M610 and M710 servers.  Running all ESX 4.

Fabric A1: M6220 (the user's LAN Segment)

Fabric A2: no

Fabric B1: Ethernet Passthrough (iSCSI to DELL Equallogic PS5000e SAN)

Fabric B2: Ethernet Passthrough (iSCSI to DELL Equallogic PS5000e SAN)

All blade on ESX servers see the A1 and A2 as vmnic0 & vmnic1.  If I understand correctly, the M6220.  The problem is that none of the blades see Passthroughs Ethernet which are connected to a Cisco 2970 switch.  Shouldn't B1 & B2 appear on vmnic2 & vmnic3?  It does not show on the side of ESX.

Any agency with experience with this would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

(1) chassis management controller can tell you what is installed.

(2) Yes, you do.  If you want to connect to what in fabric B, each server needs to connect to fabric B need a Mezz card on fabric B.

  • Reference Dell MD3200i correct editing with IP system and the NIC for faster network speeds

    Hi all

    I worked on this project for a while now. I did a lot of research and have contacted Dell several times. I need help.

    I have 2 sets of identical to use for Hyper-V clusters servers. We bought a Dell MD3200i in November, we also bought a Dell 5424 switch and a Cisco SLM2048 switch. These servers have Real Tek 2 network cards for iSCSI Jumbo frames is 9 k

    The Dell MD3200i is two SAN controllers. Dell 5424 is the iSCSI optimized switch and Cisco is a 48 switch ports. iSCSI is on its own network that nothing else is connected to it. (There is an Iomega NAS and a promise Vtrak SAN Tech with all current domain of execution with iSCSI controller)

    Reference Dell MD3200i controller 0 Port 0 192.168.130.101 controller 1 Port 0 192.168.131.101

    Controller controller Port 3 0 192.168.130.103 1-3 192.168.131.104

    Cisco switch has 1 VLAN n ° 1 on it and the 130 subnet inside elements. There are 8 connections to the switch. 4 controller 0 and 1 of each of the servers. It has an IP of 192.168.132.4, but that switch IP does not make difference. Lighted Jumbo frames

    Dell switch has 2 of #1 for various things such as the domain controller, Vtrack, and SIN. Subnet 2 is 131 and has a total of 8 connectors inside. 4 in 1 controller and 1 from each of the servers. Lighted Jumbo frames. The switch IP address is 192.168.132.2

    Groups of servers. Each server node running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 and running hyper-v with virtual server clusters / storage folder on them. 2 Realtek NIC with Jumbo frames made 9 k ProdNode1 and ProdNode2 have 12 Core i7 CPU with 12 GB memory, EXNode1 and ExNode2 have 12 Core i7 CPU with 24 GB of memory.

    iSCSI tab click on add 8 MPIO sessions at each of the ports on the MD3200i from Dell, target. For example, I added 1 session of 192.168.130.101 using it. Add Session,--> activate--> Advanced Mutlipath--> Local--> IP 192.168.130.110 initiator and target 192.168.131.101 iSCSI adapter. This is repeated on all servers. 4 connections for each NIC.

    The network is very slow. It revolved around 2 to 4 MB/MIN and it should be much faster. Initially, we had only the Cisco switch with only 1 VLAN and everything connected directly to it. I read somewhere that MPIO has been the problem, so I went through the same configuration but does not verify the MPIO checkbox above. Once this has been done, the network speed went up to 1.5 GB/Min but modular storage Dell was not happy, and virtual servers would fail and the connection is not very stable.

    What wrong with my setup? Can I directly home and fix the servers directly to the PowerVault and will make stable and allow for failover and redundancy NIC? I need to get this stable so I can move with something else.

    VM is running Windows 2008 R2 STD with MS SQL 2008 R2 STD. The change in size of database per day is around 2 to 3 MB of base on my daily full backups via the MS SQL backup.

    However, when I throw a replication session between my EQL PROD and DR EQL which size of delta is ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB every time that I run a replication? Interval is about 5 to 10 minutes. I tried 20 minutes also the size to replicate is erratic.

    Why is so huge its more than 1000 MB per replication.

    Hope someone can help me with that.

    Thank you

    Re: Storage Direct.  Yes, if you configure these volumes SQL replication, only the changed data will be included.  Only VM will see to all the files in the data store.   However, you still want to replicate your VMFS, but not as often as SQL datastore.

    Re: optimize.  Article I included has the registry setting you need.  This works for all storage formatted to NTFS.

    In addition, when you format the SQL data / log volumes, has the NTFS 64 K cluster size.   The default value is usually 4 or 8 K.  This will align all the writings and readings on the 64K of distribution of the EQL table size.   This improves performance of I/o.

    Oriented server ports are configured automatically as part of the aggregation of links groups if the server is configured for the LACP Protocol. Static GAL is not supported.

    You will use the segregation network VLAN. A VLAN for network traffic and the other for the CF. Here are the commands to configure interfaces for different VLANS.

    Unidentified:

    Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

    Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # vlan unidentified 4

    Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

    Tag:

    Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

    The tag vlan Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # 4

    Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

    Traffic from servers will follow the path of the VLAN. For example, if an internal server, facing the port is set to VLAN 4, that traffic will be transmitted on the uplink port which has also set to VLAN 4.

    By default, all external ports are placed in a single whole LAG. However, you can change the configuration to support several shifts of uplink. Page 159 of guys configuration takes you step by step on setting up several shifts of uplink.

    The aggregator automatically configures to match the FCoE parameters used in the switches to which it connects through its uplink ports. FIP snooping is automatically configured on an aggregator. Automatically configured port channel (LAG 128) works CWF port mode. See page 86 for more information and examples of config.

    For redundancy, you could stack the units together. 241 page details the process of stacking.

    Page 54 of 102 of the Guide blade IO has one other diagram that details more internal server port mapping for each blade.

    Thank you

    With multiple VLANs, you need to use the general/Trunk mode. With the help of the info we have I made a diagram to help show the location of the switches and parameters on them. Obviously things can be different, such as PVID, IP address, VLAN ID etc are all customizable to your needs. But the page layout modes and the port will remain the same.

    STP will not fill the VLAN on the other switches. It's probably the GVRP feature it refers. With such a short race, it is more practical to manually add the VLAN. At least for the initial Setup, then once everything works enable GVRP to accommodate future expansion of VLAN.

    Hope this helps some.
