SAN upgrade passes to 10 Gbit

Hello

We rotated the EqualLogic 6100 in production for 2 years now and I am considering the most recent paintings 10 Gbit. At the moment we are currently using two Juniper ex4200 switches in two of our server rooms, and they seem to be good.

I am looking for 48 switches copper port that do 10 GB and it does not seem be much there other than the strength of 10 S4820T.

If we bought those, would it be possible to swap the junipers and run tables 1 GB because they are at different sides of the bays in 10 GB (storage pool) and servers?

We could potentially create a lacp between junipers and these trunk (as shown in one of the best practical guides), but we are pretty pushed for space in our basket of networking.

I thought we would stack the switches using 3 ports on each S4820T qsfp, would that be a bottleneck because of the ports being 10 GB and there are only 120 GB between switches?

The other qsfp ports would use with spf + optical transceivers for the performance of replication between our two server rooms traffic.

Thank you

Hello

The Force 10 is a big switch.  There are also 10 GbE in the line to be able to connect as well.  Or the other approach works. Replace the existing, or more lag to a new stack for 10GbE.

Much depends on when and how you plan to upgrade to the servers of 10GbE network adapters.  What it be prevent is 10GbE server NIC goes to the bays of GbE.

Have you contacted your sales representative?   They can bring in some network people to review what you have now and help you move forward.

Kind regards

  • Live iSCSI SAN upgrade production network (Dell MD3000i and PowerConnect & ESXi 4)

    Hi all

    For the moment, I have a direct connection to my Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN in ESXi 4 2 x host with no switch between the two, all of the virtual machine is within the SAN and running on both hosts.

    If I want to put a switch between the two and add one more iSCSI SAN so that the two SAN can be accessed / shared with the 3 ESXi 4 guests total, how should I approach the issue?

    any idea or guideline would be greatly appreciated.

    What I have to plan the time or can I change the old IP on the existing SAN iSCSI manually cable one by one without damage/alter the existing operation of the virtual machine on SAN? or I have to stop the virtual machine and then terminate the connection manually iSCSI session and then restart the host SAN?

    Thank you

    AWT

    Standard installation on the MD3000i is for a port iSCSI on each controller on a subnet and one on each controller to be on another.

    There have been people working successfully on a subnet, reported problems too.   I wish we were longer on our Vsphere upgrade, I'm not at a point but where I test things like Vmotion.

  • InDesign CS5.5 El Capitan action items do not match the document rule

    It's the strangest thing, and I've dealt with him, but finally had had enough. I believe that this message upgrade passes began to El Capitan. Items as boxes have no real measures appear in the InfoBar at the top of the screen. I should be able to enter the area of measurement x on the position of an element to align exactly with the rule. He is totally off! For example, I have an elements clearly aligned with 0 on the x axis, but the measure for x = 2! I've been positioning using smart guides, but it is crazy that I can't type a number and have the element to align correctly. Any help would be great!

  • Scsi.ConflictRetries

    I'm running on more than one host ESX 3.5 U5 and connected to a San for 3Par, HP EVA 3000 3Par is instruct change me my default value 80, maximum of 200 Scsi.ConflictRetries (referenced in this article VM: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1020366 ) until my OS SAN upgrade is complete next week.

    I am trying to determine if there are negative side effects to this change. How this will affect my HP SAN?

    Thanks in advance for an overview of this.

    Salvation of the brain,

    Increase Scsi.ConflictRetries will not have the negative effects of your San.

    The option is used to set the number of attempts THAT HBA is to acquire the lock on LUN for every write operation done to the SCSI.

  • Update Firmware on vSphere MD3000i

    Hello

    We currently have several without MD3000i which must obtain an updated firmware updated (RAID controller and physical disk firmware) for the latest versions (07352261 for the RAID controller).  Those without are connected to the PowerEdge 2950 runs the last environment vSphere.  I did a little research and from what I understand, the key is really:

    -Back up all your data.

    -Stop the vSphere physical servers.

    -Use the crossgeneration utility provided to upgrade the San.

    Does anyone have any experience or advice related to the MD3000i San upgrade? Advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    Gene

    It depends on if you want to continue your virtual machines to be connected, so plan accordingly, you will have a good upgrade without interruption of service, I've done was 15 x 400 GB MD3000i firmware upgrade to version xx 7. but a cheap shared storage of NFS/iSCSI using OpenFiler to promote and use Storage VMotion to move VMS as intermediate destination.  Once the upgrade complete, migrate their return and delete or recycle your Openfiler or keep it low key development servers.  You can move to a local disk if you want to just for temporary, but can not do any VMotion/HA if.  You can use the demo as network SANmelody or left virtual storage to improve performance and reason for portability.  Otherwise, if you drive to power that run them just a quick upgrade with scheduled downtime should be fine.  Good luck.

  • Following the upgrade to 34.0.5, I can access is no longer our SAN, airco, vSphere customers Web web pages, etc. How can I fix this?

    After upgrade to 34.05, can no longer access the web pages of the SAN, the air conditioning system, vSphere Client Web management interface, etc. All still work in Chrome.

    The air conditioning system gives an error:

       Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 10.32.16.50 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
       Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
    

    The management interface SAN and vSphere customers Web display an empty page. Not sure if they have problems due to SSLv3.

    I understand that you want to be careful, but I seriously doubt that I have to deal with an attack of our SAN. Please, at least give us an option for you connect without worrying.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible so set this preference selectively - with preferences of internal firefox mentioned previously, you can only enable or disable the low globally.

  • Cannot install/upgrade to SAN HQ v2.5 - unexpected error.

    I get this error after I tried the upgrade and do a fresh install of SAN HQ v2.5 on my server HQ SAN; but have no problem installing SAN HQ v2.2 installation seems to work very well, and when I try to open the SAN HQ client I get the above error.

    I just built a new server and installed the new v2.5 HQ SAN server, and as soon as it finished installing, I get the same error.

    Server 2008 R2 running.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Crowlaw, you can check if your systems are configured for FIPS compliance?  To check this, the simplest method is to look at this registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy\Enabled

    If this entry is set to 1, then I would recommend that you try to temporarily set it to 0 to see if this allows you to start the Client SANHQ.

  • Upgrading ESX when you are connected to the SAN

    Hello. At the time, it was considered preferable to unplug the host SAN during installation or upgrading ESX fram. Is this still the case with ESXi 5.5?

    Hello

    In fact, it is always best practice to disconnect from the SAN, but you could do it on the fly as well using the Manager to update if your upgrade to ESXi ESXI 5.1 to 5.5. I have seen many do

    without any problem. Just make sure that the hardware is compatible in HCL.

  • SAN LUN must be disconnected to ESXi 4.1 U3 upgrade?

    Salvation;

    I was wondering if SAN LUN must be separated (registered) during the upgrade of U3 for an ESXi host.

    I did the upgrade on a new host that is not yet in production, and has any HBA inside.

    I just tried on a variety of prod in maintenance mode and it gets to a screen and it shows the LUNS sees it. (see the attached screenshot)

    I know that the local drive is the target, but I want to just make sure that nothing happens on the remote SAN LUNS if I proceed.

    Any info would be great, thanks.

    If I am mistaken, interactively fix/upgrade using the CD is only supported with ESXi 5.0 and newer. In doing so, with the ESXi 4.1 CD, will wipe the installation disc! A method of support for ESXi 4.1 update is for example the vihostupdate command-line utility to apply the patches provided in http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/download.portal.
