Storage - 5 ESX & HP Blade Storage expansion

Hi all

Current context:

  • Runing ESX 5 HP BL460 Blade Server standard
  • HP D2200sb PCIe Storage Blade consists of 6 146 GB drives & 6 empty bays
  • 5 virtual machines exist on a single data store

Requirements:

  • Repalce the 6 146 GB hard drive with 12 300 GB hard drive and store the virtual machine.

This will work:

  1. Insert 6 300 GB HDD in for storage of balde
  2. Create a new table
  3. Present this as a data store
  4. migrate the virtual machine to the new store using storage vmotion
  5. remove the old store of 146 GB
  6. Remove the disks from 146 GB of storage blade
  7. Add more 6 HDD for storage balde
  8. Add to the existing array consisting of 6 300 GB drives
  9. Range of Vsphere
  10. create additional data warehouses

Thank you, have I missed something?

Looks good to me, should be good to go.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but I have created a document instead of a new thread here. Could you pls have a look at the document with the same name, 'problem in the case of storage expansion '.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    Have you tried the same operation by using the vSphere client connected directly to the ESX host and not through vCenter?

    Good luck!

  • The SSD and RAM upgrade

    I have the 13-inch Retina Display early 2015 model. It contains 128 GB SSD and 8 GB of RAM.

    I wanted to update both of them. Is this possible? I agree with HARD drive even if that is supported. 128 GB is not enough for me actually.

    Help, please.

    Without the SSD and RAM are both not upgradable.

    One option is to sell your computer and use the money to buy a new one with the features you need.

    There are two options to add an HD card to your card HD slot. Both options will be flush with the case.

  • XOOM 2 ME: SD card

    Media edition will have a functional COMPLETELY SD card?

    In the press release for the United Kingdom, there is no SD card be mentioned or included in the technical specifications:

    http://mediacenter.Motorola.com/press-releases/Motorola-mobility-launches-two-new-tablets-in-the-UK-...

    the site Motodev for WiFi only version says: "Not available in all areas" for the SD card.

    http://developer.Motorola.com/products/Xoom-2-me-mz607/

    As a logical conclusion, it seems that the United Kingdom is an area where the SD card is not available in the WiFi only XOOM 2.

    J,

    Thanks for your reply.

    the only version of wifi for ME is just being released in the United Kingdom at the moment - I am trying to confirm if this version has indeed a microSD for storage expansion slot. You tube pre version reviews of this product of last month would imply that the only wifi version doesn't have a microSD slot but I guess the spec may have changed for the full release.

    get an answer on this would help me decide on my purchase.

    Thanks again,

  • Do I need a bunch of different versions of microsoft visual c ++?

    My computer has a bunch of different versions of Microsoft Visual C++

    I have 2 dated 2005, 2008 dated of 3, 1 dated 2010 and 2012 dated the 1.

    My understanding is that I would need only the latest version (2012), but I want to make sure before I uninstall the other.

    I know I could probably let them such that they cause any conflictions or anything, but I'm very short on space and would like to clear some. (I am running Windows 8 Pro on a Tablet Atom of power with 64 GB of storage, expansion is not an option without decreasing portability or an expensive solution).

    I have most of my files on skydrive storage, most of my space is taken up with the programs I need.

    If I uninstall 6 earlier versions of Microsoft Visual C++ without loss of functionality that would clear up some space.

    Thank you for your support.

    Hello

    Hello

    Do not uninstall one of these different versions of Visual C++.

    When a developer creates a software, they use the files from the current or a previous version of the Visual C++ runtime files. These versions are installed by the software program and must be present on the computer for this software to work correctly.

    When Windows Update checks your system for available updates, it detects these older versions are present and if an update is available for these older versions, it will be installed.

    Deleting one of these versions may cause some programs to stop working.

    If you look at the size of these files, they are very small.

    Looks like it's really a problem with the new driver hpsa.

    The following group contains the oldest driver scsi-hpsa - 5.5.0.50 - 1OEM.550.0.0.1198611.x86_64 that is running on your host to work:

  • ESX 4 Local Storage Name Changed - can't change back

    Recently, I move my VMware farm.  When I got to the top, one of local storage devices came back as "Local (1).  I've never had one (1) about this before and now all VMS are orphans.  When I try to change the name back to just 'Local', he says that there is already, which it is not.  Somehow, VMware has become confused!

    Anyone knows how I can bring the 'Local' and the virtual machine without having to remove and re-add?  There are some VM who really "may not be moved" because of a restriction of the application.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    as you mentioned several blades, I assume you are also using vCenter Server.

    How have you tried to rename the data store, by connecting to vCenter Server or directly on the affected ESX Server?

    Maybe the vCenter DB contains an entry in database 'outdated' that block any operation rename.

    I saw similar problems when I tried to rename a data store, while it is directly connected to an ESX Server, which was managed by a vCenter server.

    I managed to rename the data store, but more or less immediately after it was renamed from the original name.

    So if possible, I would

    • disconnect/remove this host ESX to vCenter
    • connect the vSphere Client directly to the ESX Server
    • new attempt by renaming the local data store
    • Check the changes are permanent/accepted
    • Reconnect/add a return to vCenter ESX host

    Good luck

  • ESX 4 not detect the storage card (Fibre Channel)

    ESX 4

    In HP balde (BladeSystem c7000) install new Bay (No. 3), but vmware ESX undetected installed storage adapter (Fiber Channel HP 4 GB Module VC - CF)

    Bay #1 and #2 see this adapter and works very well.

    In the Bay #1 and #2 installed blade Proliant BL460c G1

    In the installed #3 Bay blade Proliant BL460c G6

    We had the same problem with our c7000.  We got a new system with 8 new BL460c knives.  2 blade 8 FC mezzanine card were not ESX 3.5.  We had to reinstall the mezzanine cards to have ESX seen.

    Question would be do you see the HP Onboard Administrator mezzanine card so that the blade?

    However with a system with local storage would you set it up the same way, and whatever it is must be amended to change to get ESX to write log files to the different partitions?  I would like to configure it for future expansion for when the enterprise package is configured.

    Yes, I would set up the same way with an ESX with local storage server and nothing needs to be changed for the vmekernel right at the partition/var - unless of course you want to write to a log server that you need to change a configuration file to point to the server logs.  If you talk to the ESX Enterprise license you willnot have to change partiition table-

    Also on something else if you don't have a SAN/NAS storage you will also need to create a VMFS partition on the local data store to host your virtual machines

  • other storage servers and blade

    Hope you can help me... we have an existing case with installed poweredge 610 servers and storage PS6010 m1000e blade...

    Now, we plan to add additional 2 servers and 1 storage, hope you can recommend the last server and blade m1000e enclosure-compatible storage.

    Thank you...

    I am a current owner M1000e as well.  You have a number of different options.  You have the versatile mid-height M620, which can be set up as animals when it comes to RAM and CPU.  Optionally, you now have blades of height of quarter if your use case supports, are an attractive option.  The bulk of the case with them in my mind is the limit of RAM.  We just bought 4 M620 to replace some of our old M600.  A computational side, we increase the computing power of an amount of signifigant compared city blades according to old Harper.

    Personally, I had still stick with EqualLogic form factor standard for storage.  The storage for the enclosure has a few traps that might not make it the best solution for you.

  • Sensor storage LSI 9260-8i in ESX 5.5

    Hi all

    I recently bought a new RAID controller for my 5.5u2 ESXi host. I chose the LSI 9260-8i to cause the positive reviews, price and compatibility 5.5. The main objective of the new RAID controller was to add the visibility of table in ESXi "State of material" and to allow management from a virtual machine via the MegaRAID Storage Manager. I flashed the 9260 with the latest firmware and then installed 5.5u2. The LSI RAID controller was found and both my drives are available and work as expected.

    Unfortunately, I have none is a sensor of storage in the status tab of the hardware. I tried to installed the Legacy and native drivers as the latest SIGS, all found HERE. I had success the legacy driver update but PMI would not update.

    Please respond if you have an LSI 9260 with 5.5 ESXi. I'm curious in the storage sensor is visible to you.

    Thank you!

    What do you mean by "PMI would not be updated"? I've updated smis-provider with:

    # software esxcli vib install d ' / path/VMW-ESX-5.x.0-lsiprovider-500.04.V0.54-0004-offline_bundle-2395881.zip '.

    .. .and everything went well. After the reboot, I can see State of health in the Hardware tab.

    BTW, you have 5.5 ESXi, you probably use VMW-ESX-5.5.0-lsiprovider-500.04.V0.54-0004-2371726.zip, listed as a provider of PMI for 5.5.

    But have you tried the other one, VMW-ESX-5.x.0-lsiprovider-500.04.V0.54-0004-2395881.zip, for 5.x?

    And one more thing: your controller reports its health status at least using the tool (storcli, megacli)?
