• Static iSCSI targets removal script with PowerShell

  Hi all

  Is it possible to use PowerShell for the removal of static iSCSI Targets of script? If so, how...

  Thank you!

  If I understand you correctly, you want a report of current static iSCSI on your ESX Server targets.

  This should do the trick

  $esxName = 
  
  $report = @()
  $hostStorSys = Get-View -Id (Get-VMHost $esxName | Get-View).ConfigManager.StorageSystem
  foreach($hba in $hostStorSys.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter){

• VMware as an iSCSI target

  Hello

  This might be a newbie question, but I looked in the documentation and online and I could not find a definitive answer.

  I want to configure my VMware machine as an iSCSI target, so that I can use additional storage to other machines in VMware.

  The hard drives are connected via SCSI on the local machine and not on a dedicated storage machine.

  Is this possible?

  Thanks for any response,

  Dorian

  Welcome to the community - Yes you can load a pack opensource like FreeNas and present as a target iSCSI in a VM - but I don't then point other virtual machines that are running on the same for your storage space because if the host fails your storage space will be would not available-

  I also move this issue a more appropriate forum

• Configure the iSCSI Volumes

  Hi all!

  Its the first time install Ubuntu Server on a Power Edge 2950 to me and
  The question is when it comes to partitioning, it said that it has detected that active SATA disks--"one or more drives containing Serial ATA RAID configurations have been found. You want to activate these RAID devices? Turn on Serial ATA RAID devices. They gave me two options 'Yes' or «» I clicked 'Yes' because I thought that this would allow Ubuntu server configure RAID1 during installation. However, I was led to the disks Partition that says "this is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. Select a partition to modify its settings..., and there are three options to choose from, namely:
  Configure the iSCSI volumes
  Undo changes to partitions
  Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

  So I don't know if I'm doing the thing to write here. When I chose 'To configure iSCSI Volumes', I was prompted to choose either log on to the target iSCSI or finishing. I don't know what to do from here.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  I found the solution, the problem was that the hard drive Master Boot Record was not present.

  I run a Ubuntu Live CD and install it. The hard drive is already detected and the installation was successful.

  Thank you very much!

• Removed VMFS3 iSCSI target volume - I'm screwed?

  Hello. I "tried" to move virtual machines between servers and the San. On a single server, ESXi 3.5, I 'got' a VMFS volume on a target iSCSI on a basic SAN device.

  The volume "was" listed in the configuration of the server/storage tab. I removed thinking it would be just to delete the reference to the volume from the point of view of the host, but he seems to have deleted the iSCSI target volume.

  Is this correct - is my missing volume? If I'm screwed? Is there anyway to recover the volume?

  Any help or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

• 'Incorrect function' during the initialization of an iSCSI target

  I have problems when you try to create a partition of 3.7 TB on Windows Server 2008 R2.

  

  I get the following error message when I try to initialize an iscsi target:

  

  What I am doing wrong.  The target is not part of a cluster.

  

  What I am doing wrong? I tried initilizating the disk with MBR and GPT time partitions and all do the same thing.

  Have you installed the software on the server (at least the host software) and establish connections iSCSI on two raid controllers? Looks like that may connect you to a controller, but the virtual disk is owned by the other controller.

• How to change the name of a volume iSCSI target?

  How the name of a volume iSCSI target can be changed?  I created a volume with a typo in a letter.   The volume production data on it now so I can not just it delete and recreate the problem.   It's not a big deal, but it doesn't look good either.

  It's on a PS6100.   When I go into the properties of the Volume in the advance tab I can see the iSCSI name, but cannot change it.  All I change is the public alias.  But it does no good that the name appears in the vCenter with the misspelled name.

  So how can I change the iSCSI name?

  Or am I stuck creating a new volume and telling them to migrate their data for spelling can be fixed?

  See you soon

  Part of the iSCSI specification is that target names must be unique.  Therefore, once created, you cannot change the name of the volume.

  Kind regards

• Change STP UME in RSTP mode on two stacked powerconnect 6224 configured for iSCSI during normal operation

  Hello

  I'll do a fw upgrade during normal operation on a stack of 6224 circulating BPMH, I am currently aware of recommendations Dells run RSTP on switches configured for iSCSI traffic connected to Equallogic SAN.

  I intend to set up another pile with two 6224 to failover and then perform the upgrade on the stack of "old." My question is if it's possible to run BPMH on the 'old' stack RSTP executing on the new stack when LAG is configured between the two batteries?

  Another option would be if it is possible to reconfigure the 'old' UME to RSTP stack without interruption between the hosts and the SAN first?

  Guidance on this subject would be greatly appreciated

  Cree

  Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol is based on RSTP and is backward compatible with

  RSTP and STP. So, you should be able to run BPMH on the old and RSTP on the new.

• Need urgent help: loss of storage after rename of iSCSI target

  Hello guys,.

  I need help, I had the problem with one of my iSCSI targets with all virtual machines on it, this iSCSI target on the storage iomega NAS device, is suddenly the storage is no longer available, I tried to rename the 'VmwareStorage' to 'VmwareStorage1' iSCSI target, but his is more appropriate (his was visible on a vsphere servers) but now visible sound like a DOS partition, please help to recover to vsphere without losing any data and the virtual machines inside. Note that I use Vsphere 5.5. see attached photo:

  the selected one is 16-bit DOS > = 32 M, its must be VMFS, as all other stores, I don't want to not loose my vms, the company stops and I'm fired

• Best practices the iSCSI target LUN

  I connect to my ESX laboratory to a QNAP iSCSI target and wonder what best practices to create LUNS on the target. I have two servers each connection to its own target. Do I create a LUN for each virtual machine, I intend to create in the laboratory, or is it better to create a LUN of the largest and have multiple VMs per LUN? Place several virtual machines on a LUN has concequenses HA or FA?

  Concerning

  It is always a compromise...

  ISCSI reservations are per LUN.    If you get many guests on the same logical unit number, it becomes a problem and Yes we saw it.

  Slim sure to layout.   This way you can make your smaller LUN and still get several s VM we each their.

• After that stright connected to iSCSI (initiator) Host cannot ping the server iSCSI (target), but the target can, why?

  After that host on vSHere 4.0 strightly connected to iSCSI (initiator) host cannot ping the server iSCSI (target), but target can.  And iSCSI works well. I mean I can create and use the iSCSI disk, why? It makes me confused.

  Thank you!

  Geoarge,

  iSCSI traffic uses a VMkernel port, instead of using the command 'ping', use 'vmkping '.

• ISCSI Target VM address RDM?

  I have 300 GB local disks on some of my hosts connected to our SAN.  I would like to take advantage of this local space for models and ISO files.  I intend to install the iSCSI Target Framework (tgt).  My question is...

  If this CentOS VM that turns our iSCSI Target just plug the local disks on VMFS or should I try to present the local disk as a RDM (Raw Device Mapping).

  Since the machine will use local disks, vMotion and anything that is out of the question anyway, so I think this could be a good situation for the use of RDM.

  Hello.

  If this CentOS VM that turns our iSCSI Target just plug the local disks on VMFS or should I try to present the local disk as a RDM (Raw Device Mapping).

  I would use VMFS for this. You will have more flexibility with VMFS and RDM the local approach seems to add unnecessary complexity.

  Good luck!
