• CX3-20: host in several storage groups?

  Hi all

  What is the trick? I have all the storage groups created on our SAN access to our server VCB (Virtual Consolidated Backup of VMware).

  The problem is that our Clarion EMC Cx3-20 allow us only to add a host to a storage group.

  If I want to connect the VCB server to a different storage group, I get a prompt saying (in Navisphere):
  AMS - back.corp.com: this host is already connected to a different storage group. Connection to the current storage group will be be disconnected from the other storage group. This will cause the host unable to access the LUNS that are in the other storage group.

  VCB server must see all LUNS, can advise you?
  Thank you

  
  

• Orientation of storage group

  Hi all

  We are expanding our storage environment and wanted some advice on setting up our group/pools.

  We currently consisting of 12 TB PS4000E storage group, it is used as mass storage for files and archiving of mail servers. All volumes are in the default storage pool.

  We bought a 24 CT PS4100E and a 14 TB PS6100X to add to this group. The idea is to migrate existing data from Vault/e-mail on the server of the PS4000E file, so it can be removed from the Group and used elsewhere in the company.

  In scenario 1 we add two devices in the Group and separate storage pools and migrating volumes from the storage pool by default for the pool containing the PS4100E. Then remove the PS4000E of the group.

  In scenario 2 we have the PS4100E and the PS6100X in the same pool of storage and migrate the data in the same way. The group can then distribute the data as seems it.

  In the future we will migrate VM storage over another group, containing a PS5000.

  What are the considerations of raid level and pool for these scenarios? RAID5 has been recommended for both of the new features, but can they coexist in the same pool and work well with the same level of raid?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, you can run different RAID levels in the same pool and through different speeds with him when to use the latest version of the firmware (5.x and v6.x).

  You can add new members in any combination you like (an a R10 two R10 or the two R6, or alone as a R6).  APLB (Automatic Performance Load Balancing) will examine various aspects of i/o, disk speed, type, RAID and determine the best placement for the slices of volume and move the data according to the needs (in the background) to provide the best performance.

  Just note that because the SAS bays generally have more space, volumes have generally several sections on the largest capacity table.

• LOW 5.0 API search Exchange storage group

  I had a problem to find the location of the storage group Exchange (2003 environment) within the API 5.0.  I have no problem to find the name of the actual exchange server however I do not know which class contains the value real homemdb (if any.)

  Any help is appreciated,

  Thank you

  Rob

  Hi Rob,

  The BES does not connect to any Exchange database so that there is no API to return this value. All communication is done via MAPI.

  A good rule of thumb, if something is not possible to be found/made using the console BOTTOM it is not supported in the BAA.

• Unit - mailbox moved to the new storage group is not available

  Hello

  I have a 4.0 (4) unit UM with a message from Exchange 2003 offbox store. During the initial installation, only the first storage group on the mail server was present and mailboxes of the users are hosted here.

  Recently, a new storage group was created on the mail server and a mailbox has been moved from the first group of storage to the new storage group. The Subscriber is able to receive voice messages via e-mail, however his MWI does not illuminate. When it tries to connect to retrieve messages on his phone, the unit said "your messages are not available now.

  I am able to create or import users that are hosted in the new storage group, but I'm having the same symptoms. Is it necessary to rerun the configuration of message store wizard?

  Thanks in advance.

  Have you run Assistant permission for the new Bank of mailboxes?

  The other thing to do is to restart the AvMsgStoreMonitor service; But wait after hours. A reboot will do the same.

• Replication storage group

  Just a quick question about automated replication.

  I noticed that, sometimes, a stack of app will be automatically repeated at all storage in a storage group, as soon as the stack is created. Maybe it's just a coincidence of timing. Other times, I have to use the button repeated in storage group menu, which I am reluctant to do it because I guess, he is everything that the replication (in the case where there may be changes).

  Is there a timetable? Can I force replication just to a single appstack, for example by using a command line on the server?

  Just for reference, we use only local flash storage on the hosts for the non-persistent linked clones, so we need to replicate to all the machines see the battery.

  the timing is every 4 hours and no its not configurable. You can force replication, but not for a single AppStack. However if there is that one added and you force a replication, it will only replicate a new a

• How to work on the strategy of Distribution of the storage group?

  Any body can help me to understand the strategy of Distribution of the storage group?

  The App, the storage Volumes have the option below:

  Spread: Distribute files in all storage locations.
  When a file is created, the storage with the most available space is selected.

  Round-robin: Distribute files sequentially using the storage locations.
  When a file is created, with the oldest time used storage is selected.

  I don't know what is different from this two option. When I select this option, I can see on my environment? Thank you.

  I think that it is used only for writable volumes right?

  If you are using storage with appstacks groups all appstacks are synchronized between the two storage when you use the sync option.

  When you create writeable volumes in the storage group it will create in one of the stores of data defined in the storage group.

  Let's say your staorage is called ST1, ST2, ST3 and ST4 and ST1 and 2 are 100GB and 3 and 4 are 1000GO then that's what happens.

  East Round Robin

  ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4 and so on and so forth. It would take into space wanted account.

  With the other he will do

  ST3, ST4, ST3, ST4, until both have also 100 GB of disk space and it will then be evenly.

• Volume App storage groups

  Has someone already implemented App Volumes storage groups?

  I've set up a group of storage with the following parameters:

  • Automation: "Appstacks of auto import" and "Automatic Appstacks replicate" active
  • Distribution strategy: left by default to "spread" that this only applies to writable volumes according to the documentation and I don't use the accessible volumes in writing
  • Storage of model: I chose here the LUN where my appstacks
  • Selection of storage: Direct
  • Storage: I chose here the LUN I want my appstacks to replicate to

  but nothing seems to happen.

  I'm doing something wrong?

  Looks like you selected only 1 storage location. You must select 1 more data store for replication to occur. Typically, you would select the data store that you create the appstacks on (the same data store that you used for the storage of model) and data 1 or more additional warehouses to replicate. So, using the direct selection of storage, you must have a minimum of 2 warehouses of verified data.

• Adding a lun to multiple storage groups

  Is it OK to have the same LUNS in storage groups? I'll put up a new cluster and its own storage group. But I need to have other LUN mounted in the other cluster so that I can migrate virtual machines to this new cluster

  Fix. It's all basically just of masking.

• Max or recommended LUNS per storage group

  I can't find any definitive or maximum recommendation for the number of logical units (VMFS5), which can be placed in a storage group.

  Can someone point me to some documents that indicate this and possiblly some explanation of ups and downs?

  32 data warehouses by cluster of data by the maximum configuration store.

• HP Proliant DL360e + Bus host H221 + HP P2000 G3 storage array

  Hello

  I have the following equipment:

  -HP Proliant DL360e

  -H221 Host Bus

  Storage array - HP P2000 G3

  The software to install is VMware 5.1. I download the ISO on the HP website.

  I could install VM disk on the DL360e when the storage array is not connected.

  I could connect to the storage array and configure the raid array by using the network card.

  The problem:

  At startup, when I connect the HP H221 of the controller cable to the storage group. The server hangs when you try to initialize the H221. The message is "initialization".

  If I connect the cable after booting, I can't find storage array P2000.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Irshad

  Discovered that one of the host H221 bus is defective.

• Migration of all the catalog items to a different data store in the same storage profiles

  Hello

  is any possibility to migrate everything in the catalog (time and iso files) to a different data store that has the same profile (Silver) storage group?  Because I have 2 groups of data store with the same profile of storage (Silver) and I want to delete one of this cluster.

  I found this kb: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2058094 but it speaks solely of media files of migration between different storage profiles.

  Have vCD 5.6.4

  You happen to use rapid Provisioning?  This is probably the only problem I can think of.

  Environments that have no linked Clones or shadows created from them, you can just Storage vMotion them between the same storage policy data warehouses.  Just make sure that the data store or a store of data clusters are visible in vCloud Director first of all in the framework of this storage policy.

  When you use linked clones, I don't remember the exact process... I think that I have in my office somewhere (I'm at home now).

• Can I use VDS with LACP to reduce on group SAN iSCSI connections?

  I'm trying to reduce the number of iSCSI connections to my EqualLogic storage group. I currently use a standard vSwitch with two ports vmk by server for SAN. Can I use a single vmk with VDS/LACP to reduce my by half by server iSCSI connections and still maintains band bandwidth/redundancy?

  I'm quite confident, it will work, but hoped for validation. Please correct me if I'm totally turned off, or if it would be not supported.

  My volumes cover several physical devices (20 paths for 7 volumes by iSCSI adapter). Can I assume that with load balancing on an OFFSET of the source and destination hash value, I would get at least some balancing between adapters?

  If you have several points of termination targets L2 - 4, Yes. For example an IP address, MAC address, unique ports or. Paths, volumes and devices are not relevant to the LACP.

  If I don't choose a LAG, I can't visualize how it would reduce my iSCSI for my storage pool connections. I'm setting targets on my Broadcom cards, the vmk connects through these cards. Is the logic that is smart enough to only connect the active paths on an adapter or another in an OFFSET? I do know that I have make sense more that I might have to play with a SHIFT on a host isolated for a bit and see exactly how it will behave.

  The adapters are more exposed. The LAG is a logical interface. Traffic can be sent or received through any physical adapter in the GAL.

  Note: I would not use an OFFSET for iSCSI on a vSphere host traffic: seriously, Stop Using Port channels for vSphere storage traffic. Wahl network
