Server and storage suggestion

Hi all

Please suggest a class machine good server & a NAS (approximately 12 TB) storage for the ESXi 5.x installation.

I have a budget of 1600000 INR ($26000). Please note that we have another 4 ESXi servers in our environment with local storage. Intend to use this storage to these servers as well.

Regrads,

10G compared to 1 GB and fiber network is pretty much a draw until our days and all this boils down to your infrastructure.  If you already have fiber switch up its probably cheaper just go with fiber instead of get a 10 GB iSCSI SAN and a 10 GB switch, however if you do not have fiber 10 GB switch with 10 GB iSCSI is a good solution.  The nice thing about 1 GB iSCSI is it can be attached anywhere pretty easily because it requires just a nic, NIC 10 GB start to be this much too as the price on them is going down and they become more frequent.

Another SAN manufacturing that makes just iSCSI is the Dell Equallogic series without.  These box isn't bad and REALLY simple to use with a wide range of configuration options.

nhagoort suggested VSAN that is a very interesting option which I think will be a good possible fit for a lot of people on the road, however, VSAN is a technology of generation 1 and vmware is currently working on obtaining reports more as currently VSAN statement falls a bit short.  I'll direct you to the following article: http://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/2799p4/root_cause_analysis_of_my_vsan_outage/

Now this particular problem is a local table of low-grade controller in the Dell server that caused the problem, but the article goes over how VSAN works very well and also how they have solved.  I have no doubt with good material VSAN might be really good, especially with a lot of SSD, fusion IO cards ect coming out, however I have never been one to jump on the bandwagon Gen1 outside the trial / lab / dev stuff.

Hope this has helped.

  • ASA VPN server and vpn client router 871

    Hi all

    I have ASA 5510 as simple VPN server and 871 router as simple VPN client. I want to have the user ID and permanent password on 871 and not to re - enter username and password since 871 uses dynamic IP address and every time I have to ' cry ipsec client ezvpn xauth "and type user name and password.

    any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Alex

    Do "crypto ipsec client ezvpn show ' on 871, does say:

    ...

    Save password: refused

    ...

    ezVPN server dictates the client if it can automatically connect with saved password.

  • How can I get rid of the parameter/folder synchronization and storage

    In our account settings, we have a parameter/folder synchronization & storage how do I get rid of it

    Why? This isn't a folder that you store emails in, its part of an IMAP accounts Setup.
    In IMAP e-mails are kept on the server and synchronization MUST intervene to allow you to delete, move, etc to have your file server and your T-bird records show the same mails.

  • How can I save only mail sent on the server and do not have thunderbird download everytime I open the program?

    IMAP and everytime I open Thunderbird is so slow because it's downloading my mail sent to server. I want that my sent mail stored on the server and no hard disk.

    you have your mail on your computer or you do not. I guess that you I don't camp.

    Right-click on the account in the folders pane, select settings.

    Hello

    ·         What operating system do you use?

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to update the firmware of the router on the manufacturer's Web site and verify that it helps. For more information on how router update contact your router manufacturer's support site.

    Step 2:

    Try to assign the static IP address for an Xbox 360 and the laptop and check if it helps.

    To assign a static IP address for your laptop:

    one) click Start > Control Panel > network and Internet > network and sharing Center and click on change adapter settings.

    (b) select your network adapter. (if you have more than one list) Right-click on the adapter and choose 'Properties' from the list.

    (c) under "this connection uses the following items," click once on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to select it and then click on the button 'Properties'.

    (d) click the radio button for "use the following IP address:" enter the static IP address, you want to use in the IP address box.

    (e) press "Tab" when you are finished and that the "Subnet mask" value should automatically populate with the correct value.

    (f) Finally, you will need to enter the IP address of your default gateway and the IP addresses of your favorite servers and auxiliary DNS.

    (g) the default gateway is the IP address of your router. The DNS addresses are usually provided to you by your ISP.

    (h) click on 'OK' to save your changes, and then click 'OK' again on the local area network connection properties window. You have now assigned to your computer a static IP address in Windows

    To assign a static IP for Xbox:

    (a) turn on the console and press "Guide" on the controller to bring up the quick menu.

    (b) go to the 'Settings' tab, then open "System Settings." The dashboard opens and the 'System settings' menu.

    (c) select 'Network settings' in the menu new. Another list of menu options is displayed. Choose "Configure network." This opens the network configuration menu, where you can set a static IP address. Note your IP address, subnet mask and gateway.

    (d) change your settings 'IP' to 'Manual' instead of 'automatic '. This will allow you to manually select your IP address and other settings. It can also erase your current settings, that's why you need to write.

    (e) change the last three digits of the IP address. Enter the same numbers for the subnet mask and the gateway that you saved in step 3. Press 'B' to exit from the menu and save the changes

  • Image taken from server and display on the screen

    Hello Sir

    I'm new to the development of Blackberry, I use a webservie that returns the image in . Its a Web service written in DotNet Framework. I'm trying to convert bytes it so that I can conver bitmap and use it on the screen.

    I think I'm losing a date when the dat of conversion to Byte]

    connection_for_image image_connection = new connection_for_image();

    raw Byte [] = image_connection.get (URL);
    Dialog.Alert ("control returned 1 size =" + raw.length);
               
    try {}
                      
    Bitmap_image bitmap = new Bitmap (Bitmap.ROWWISE_MONOCHROME, 50, 50, gross);
                        
    Image BitmapField = new BitmapField (bitmap_image);
    Add (image);
                     
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    Dialog.Alert ("catch" + e.getMessage ());
    }

    After running the above code a few image is displayed in black and white, but even once, is not the image I am downloading from webservice.

    In the connection class that I'm parsing the data type in bytes using following code

    data Byte [] = null;

    I have String = d.MySplitName (content, "",")<>
    data = i.getBytes ();
    return data;

    Here, I'm a little frustrated because you don't seem to listen to what I tell you.

    "How to convert byte [] Base64Binary data.

    "Is there a way by which I can convert the base64Binary byte data.

    Please read carefully what I suggested that you make.  You should be able to determine the raw bytes that has your Web server.  The Web Service then converts it to text he sends you.  You should be able to convert it to bytes that were originally used.  You have enough information in this thread already do.  Please confirm this part of the treatment before you do anything else.

    "then use these data to display the byte [] in the bitmap file.

    That's where I think your problem is.  Look at the code I gave you in the last post.  But you will need to know the format of the raw bytes that are stored on your Web server and sent to you.  Then find a way to convert them into a Bitmap image on the device - method may depend on how the bytes are stored on your Web server.  It might be that the bytes that are sent to you are already in a Blackberry bitmap format, but I doubt it.

    So please make sure that you have correctly found the bytes of the raw image.  When this is correct, you know that your network stuff working.  Once you've done that, then you have to find a way to convert the bytes of the Bitmap image.

    If the byte [] is supported by JSR 172 is not relevant at this stage.

  • How to configure a FTP server and the web and integrate with 5.2 DMM

    Hi all...

    I need to set up an external server only for publishing content to reduce the overhead of the DMM server.

    can someone guide me on how to configure the external server and it intergrate with the DMM 5.2

    Thank you

    semuthu,


    Notes from the Release Notes:


    Limitations of compatibility with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)

    DMP who use firmware version 5.2 is compatible with a single version of Microsoft Internet Information Server.

    This supported version is IIS 6.0 for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. If you do not have the support for IIS version but

    want your DMP to recover the assets of a Web server, we recommend that you use Apache instead of IIS.



    I suggest to use Apache instead of IIS for the Web Server service. IIS can be used as FTP if necessary.

    There are a lot of Documents on the Internet concerning the implementation of Apache and FTP servers.

  • 2950 server and components NV

    Hello, newbe here

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 I need to erase the three areas of NV Ram, I downloaded the declaration of volatility, and these are the sections:

    1. Server Firmware, built-in optional ROMB) memory

    Check the pages of Dell, I see a NVRAM_CLR jumper, remove this jumper, boot and who should do it?

    2 Server (Embedded) storage controller Cache, RAM memory volatile Battery Backed

    Check pages Dell, to clear the cache of the storage controller, remove the RAM controller chip and battery. Starting the server, CTRL-M to SCSI (3 PERC, PERC 4) controllers or CTRL-R to SATA/SAS controllers (PERC 5, new controllers and PERC 6) according to the installed controller, wait five minutes in the CTRL menu to enable the content of the purge cache, restart the controller BIOS. Dell recommends re-flashing and BIOS / Firmware in the server.

    3. memory video Server DDR SDRAM

    Can't find anything on this

    He is the current wording of the SOV web site, can someone confirm the steps to clear these 3 boxes of NV RAM?

    Thank you, Bruce

    1. the Firmware (built-in optional ROMB) memory server

    Details

    Size:

    NVRAM 32KB, 4MB Flash

    Type: [e.g. PROM Flash, EEPROM]:

    NVRAM, Flash

    Can programs user or operating system to write data on it during normal operation?

    NVRAM data can be changed during the

    normal operation

    Goal? [e.g. code for startup]

    The Firmware data & configuration of controller

    How are data entry in this memory?

    Loading flash memory requires a seller

    Loader and the firmware file provided

    program which is executed by starting at the top

    the system from a diskette or a based OS

    executable containing the

    the firmware file and the loader. System

    charge with arbitrary data in firmware

    memory would not work.

    How is this memory write protected?

    The flash memory chip is software write protected

    Remarks

    2 Server (Embedded) storage controller Memory Cache (if not present/applicable, N/A will appear under details)

    Details

    Size:

    Yes

    Goal? [e.g. code for startup]

    Graphics buffer

    How are data entry in this memory?

    Normal operation

    How is this memory write protected?

    NO.

    Remarks

    Why you "have to" clear all these? This is totally useless or is a sign of other issues.

    1. this I can see - it has valid uses. Set the jumper, CLR, and then start the system - you will see a message that the NVRAM jumper is installed. At this point, you can turn off the power, unplug and put the rider in its original location.

    2. Yes, there may be rare cases where you will need to do this, but only if the system has no BONES and even in this case, it is more likely due to bad memory RAID or battery cache emptying the cache is not cleared on subsequent reboots. On the latest controllers, you can do it from the BIOS OF THE controller.

    3. This is cleared on every reboot - there is NO valid reason for data to remain 'active' in the video RAM. If you're worried, put off the power, unplug, hold down the power button / stop for 10 seconds.

  • ESXi installation process and storage CF

    Hi all

    It's been a while since I worked with the CF based storage so forgive me if this is a silly question!

    I remember at the time of ESX 3.5 when a host is created, it is strongly recommended that you unplug your HBA as the installer ESX 3.5 was inclined to wipe your FC LUNS during installation.

    Is this always the case? If I add a bright new ESX5.1 host in a cluster existing I have to disconnect from the connected FC SAN for the generation?

    Thank you

    Chris

    No, during the installation of ESXi, it scans all the storage controller and storage/LUN connected to the server. Setup ESXi offer screen user input to select the storage that you want to install ESXi and installation takes place on the selected disk.

    If you are using a scripted installation, make sure that mention you the right VMHBA device in the KS file and remove the firstdisk option. For even if the device driver of the CF charged first by ESXi, KS file controller resumes the VMHBA right for installation.
