Reference Dell Equallogic Interface errors

Hi guys, I got a big problem here in my room. My equallogic iscsi interfaces have a lot of erros. What can be?

First of all, make sure you run the latest version of FW and SANHQ table.

Packet errors are often the cause of bad cable, bad switch ports and a misconfiguration on switch iSCSI ports.   The only way to erase the mistakes of packages on Equallogic arrays must restart the table.

(Note: if unable to switch, you can disable protocols spanning tree on ports connect to the table).

  • Use the tech TR1017 report to verify the configuration of the switch and confirm it meets best practices.

  • Run a show of support on the switches to review port errors.   If a Powerconnect or Force10 switch then engage networks dell help examine the switch logs. If another provider, and then engage the seller to switch to help examine the switch logs.

  • Cards network host to firmware update and the latest network card driver

  • The direct link to TR1017:

Media.Community.Dell.com/.../tr1017-v4-Network-Guidelines.pdf

If the host Linux with Multipath.d, you may need to modify the multipath.conf file to include: tur path_checker in the devices section.

  • Reference Dell EqualLogic 6010 initial configuration

    Hello. I have a dust collection Dell EqualLogic 6010 in my test harness. He was sent by another office, for reasons unknown. I would use this feature to unload a few backup copies of vm in the development of our san to this device of 16 smaller disk.  I only have one switch that comes with it, but for its intended use, this should be good. I only will link a physical server to it where my backup software. (I wish I could just direct connect, but I read that it is not possible, or at least not recommended) The problem is... I don't know where to start.

    I tried to put in place of guides, manuals and Setup guides, but the single pdf I find is more on limits, best practices, what he can do, etc., rather than from step 1. (like, indications which include the implementation of rails and all that usually skip us... lol) Can anyone help with a quick course guide or accident? Maybe point me in the direction of certain documents?

    For example... series in I do? If so, what are the default creds? There may be a default ip address that I can connect my laptop in to start the initial game up? Or y at - it a config that I can run on the same subnet as EMC VNX implemented who will find unconfigured devices? I really can't find any of this set up information of this device. I hope someone can help.

    Thank you very much. :)

    Hello

    You have a username on the EQL support site?   The documentation is a quick installation guide.

    1.), you can use the serial port.  9600,8, n, 1 NO flowcontrol.   (Series cisco cables do not work)   Grpadmin default login, password grpadmin. (assuming that it has not already been implemented)

    2.) If you have an EQL support account, you can also download the HIT for Windows or Linux.   Who has the Remote Installation Wizard software.  Who will scan the local subnet for the not configured matrices.  Then allow you to configure it through the user interface.

    Re: switches.  You need a 10GbE switch.  The 6010 will not negotiate until 1GbE.

    Kind regards

  • Reference Dell EqualLogic Multipath (e/s high flow)

    We recently bought a Dell EqualLogic SAN. Our main goal for this device was to begin to use pools of resources and be able to do a few HA and Live migration. We have worked with XenServer and Xen Cloud for a while and got no e/s on iScsi performance we were hoping for. With the help of Multipath on the main host machine we get on 250 Mbps (which we are satisfied). On the guest computers, we get only 120 Mbps.

    My question to the community of VMWare; If we wanted to use products VMWare is the possibility to get more then 1 Gbps i/o throughput on a guest PC? And if so, if it is a PDF or a post somewhere that could explain how to do this?

    Let me know, thanks!

    2 VSM supports ESXi 5.5 U2?

    Thank you

    Paul

    VASA is a feature you don't need basic VSM features.  Which is what the release notes are trying to say.   VASA allows VMware request more information on storage volumes.   I.e. through VASA VCS calls can show that a volume is RAIDed storage, integrates snapshots or replicas.   Currently, the usefulness of the VASA is limited, even when it is available.   VASA is the first step to VMware to better understand a storage array capabilities. More features will be coming in future versions of ESXi.

    However, to make the VASA work any, the storage provider must provide software 'glue' for specific HW calls of a query of VCS.   VSM, is what has the code, known as a "provider of VASA.   A translator of sorts.

    Kind regards

    I tried to run the installer with the repair option again and removed and added the SRA with no luck.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Just treat it today.  The plugin storage Dell is written in Java, so your Java executable needs to be in the path.  RDP on your SRM server and open a commandprompt.  If you can not simply run "Java.exe", you will have this problem.

    I just do a fresh install of the latest Sun JRE and then it worked fine.

  • Dell Equallogic PS5000X NIC reference

    Hello

    does anyone have experience of SAN Dell Equallogic PS5000X?  I'll put in place at the moment and it seems there are 2 controllers for all of the 3 NIC (6 in total).  I find I cannot use 3 cards and 1 controller in Active mode and can not find a way to get the two controllers to work in unison and the two assets.

    I wanted to use 4 network cards for iSCSI traffic on a VLAN giving a rate 4 GB of storage but you can use 2 network cards, giving a throughput of 2 GB and 1 for management.

    Is this the only method available for this type of SAN?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Andy

    Hey,.

    The PS is an active / standby. A controller is active. The other will be the shot if the first of all a problem. You have only a configuration to do.

    You configure 3 interfaces in the GUI. eth0, 1, 2.

    The second controller will use this interface when you need.

    You can dedicate a management port, but Dell recommends that you connect all of your ports to the ISCSI network.

    Hope this helps

  • Reference Dell M1000e + aggregator MI/O port mapping

    Hi all

    I intend to install a new chassis Dell M1000e with Dell M/o aggregator. During the time of solution, I have a few questions about correspondences between the physical uplink with NDC blade ports ports. A Please check the config below and specify my queries?

    My hardware:

    • 1 x Dell M1000e
    • 2 x M i/o aggregator (A1 & A2)
    • 16 x M630 Blade (Qlogic 57840 S ANC four ports card)

    Reference DELL M/o aggregator:

    (reserved for Future use) module QSFP + 2 ports (Port No1:33 - 36 & No2:37 Port-40)

    I want to use these two modules for my blades 4-port Quad and the confusion I had, how to associate these 16 ports (8 ports of each module) to the server blade and the amount of bandwidth I will get by blade with redundancy.

    Module 4-port SFP + 10 GbE (Flexi-O of the Bay) (Port No.: 41-48)

    Module 4-port 2/4/8 Gb FC FlexIO (Flexi Bay 1) (Port No.: 49-56)

    FYI - I would like to install ESXi 6.0 on all blades

    Thank you!!

    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.
