  Also microsoft don't give not any support if his application is hosted on Vmware product. : ()

• How to compare premises, iSCSI and storage NFS for VMware ESXi 5 with IO Analyzer?

  Hello

  I have 2 hosts ESXi 5.0 with a few virtual machines running. I would compare the IO throughput for my local storage, iSCSI and NFS vmware storage store. Can someone point me to the right direction? I read the documents and tutorials, but I'm not sure how to compare tests from these 3 options.

  I have a need to compare the following storage options.

  Local disk on the ESX host

  iSCSI on QNAP NAS device

  iSCSI on EMC e 3100

  NFS on QNAP NAS device

  NFS on EMC e 3100

  IOmeter seems to be good tool based on reading, but still not clear where to make changes to pass tests of storage to another.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sam

  If you use IO monitor, then you must simply vmotion the VMS to the data store for the device you want to test, and then run the test (and Records results).  Can vmotion for the following data store and repeat.

• The transfer server storage shared for vcloud Director cells

  Hello

  I'm building a cluster of vCloud Director (3 guests) in our environment, but I was wondering about transfer server shared storage that is required for downloads and uploads the data among all cells, here is that excerpts from the Director Cloud installation guide for the same

  ==============================================================================================================

  To provide temporary storage for uploads and downloads, shared storage must be accessible to all hosts in a cluster of clouds Director. The amount of storage to transfer server must have permissions writable by root. Each host must ride this storage $VCLOUD_HOME

  / Data/Transfer (in general transfer/opt/vmware/cloud-director/data/transfer). Uploads and downloads are the storage for a short time (a few hours a day), but because the transferred images can be large, allocate at least several hundred gigabytes at this volume.

  =============================================================================================================

  I have some questions related to this,

  1. can I use storage iSCSI for this "shared forwarding server storage" or only a NFS storage will do.

  2 storage is recommended according to the prospective of VMware.

  3. If anyone has references to the configuration for this storage documentation, please let me know.

  Thank you

  It is not explicitly stated above all because there are several options and alternatives.

  NFS is by far the easiest and also the easiest to wear but CIFS, for example, would work.  Like any other technique of file-sharing system that makes the blob of data readable and accessible in writing of all cells at the same time.

  iSCSI is not enough to really say yes or no to the subject.  If you have a shared several cells and do iscsi lun on it ext3 file system, then the cells will tear system metadata of file into pieces in a relatively short deadline, because ext3fs is not designed to be multi-homed.

  This isn't a limitation of iSCSI, or a lun SAN, or tours with virtual machines to share the same file several VMS vmdk, is put on top of this file system.

• Configuration for the Exchange Server issue

  I have a question on an Exchange Server, I noticed that one of my Exchange servers has 4 partitions spanning 2 hard drives and a parition of M which is 55GO, but that does not appear in disk management. M partition contains the domain folder, the mailbox databases are on the D: drive. How will I know how much I really voicemails of disk space? And this configuration is supported?

  Chris

  The "M" 'virtual' drive that resides on Exchange (55 additional GB, its representation is not just messages of real exchange located on who will drive you have configured for the mail store).

  Another pattern on this drive "M":

  The default for this reader is the reader of 'm', but if you manually created a "M" drive before installing Exchange will change to another drive available. It is now recommended to 'disable' this disc.

  Run the "Best Practices Analyzer Tool" on the Exchange Server and it will find any question you should change. To turn off virtual drive is one he'll find and indicate what registry entry to change:

• Outlook 2010 offline Exchange Server after Windows 7 has been locked up for more than 1 hour

  Hi guys,.

  I recently got upgraded to Windows 7 at work. I have rules that run scripts first thing in the morning and then run macros and so I have data ready for when I get into work.
  The problem is that when Windows 7 is locked for more than 1 hour for a reason any Outlook is disconnected Microsoft Exchange then it is impossible to retrieve emails and my scripts don't end up running.
  What can be done to fix this? When I had XP it wasn't drama leaving the computer locked at night, everything went very well. What has changed for Windows 7?
  It's not only Outlook which disconnects it seems all my connections are disconnected however outlook is my main concern.

  Hi sirot,.

  I was sent here from my previous post as they said it was a windows problem. Laughing out loud
  in any case, I think I could have solved the problem. I changed the send/receive settings.
  In the file-> Options-> advanced. In the Send/received subcategory, click send/receive.
  Here, I've changed schedule a shipment / automatic reception from 30 minutes to 10 minutes.
  This seems to keep the connection with the assets of the Exchange Server.

• Exchange server and Surface RT, can I use Mail app to connect to the Exchange Server for email (the same question is for contacts or people and calendar)?

  Hello

  Our company uses an Exchange Server for email, contacts and calendar.

  Can I use Mail app to connect to the Exchange Server for email (the same question is for contacts or people and calendar)?

  Kind regards

  Matej

  You must install the SSL certificate before connect you to the Regional service, the easiest way is to go to "desktop" IE10 open, go to the exchange server web access page, click on the notification of "certificate error" red and view / install the store "certificate authorities roots of trust." Then, make sure that your surface RT complies with the minimum requirements of security then connect to the exchange via the mail application server.

• How to plan for Exchange 2007 Virtualization LUNS

  I have a question regarding the planning of the LUN, if I need to virtulizar Exchange MBX, HUB/CASE and edge server roles. Make a single LUN and assign it to any ESX host and create a seprate VMDK for each server or make a LUN seprate for each role and re-branded to the esx host.

  I short, I need to learn more about the planning of the Raid and the LUNS in the storage

  DS-

  Architecting your storage space for virtualized applications isn't very different architecting your storage space for physical applications - apply the same basic rules.  You need to worry about I/o to disk per second (IOPS), broadband bandwidth disc to your LUNs and RAID levels the same way.  Below you will find some technical documents that might help you to determine what is best for your environment.  Use them as guidelines - some are for different versions of ESX, but the principles will continue to apply.

• NetApp:SNAPDrive and SNAPManager for Exchange on an RDM

  I found an archived discussion that was about two years old, so I thought I have this back. I want to use Netapp SnapDrive one and SNAPManager for Exchange on a physical RDM. All points of the documentation using the initiator iSCSI from inside the virtual machine, but I have iSCSI HBA and so is not an option. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  It is Abhinav Joshi, one of the reference architects at NetApp virtualization. The latest version of SnapDrive one which is version 6.2 now supports physical RDMs in addition to iSCSI initiator of s/w inside comments. It is available for download on the moment of NetApp Site. http://now.NetApp.com/now/download/software/snapdrive_win/6.2/

  We recently published a reference Architecture that highlights best practices for execution of MS Apps (SQL Server, Exchange and Sharepoint) across all the protocols - FC, iSCSI, NFS. For iSCSI, this version showcases initiator iSCSI inside comments.

  More details can be found here: http://blogs.netapp.com/virtualization/2009/11/updated-solution-guide-virtualize-microsoft-apps-mixed-workload-exchange-sql-server-and-sharepoint-o.html#more

  The updated version of the Ref arch with RDM iSCSI option should be available soon.

• NFS and Exchange 2007 VMDK datastore

  If I have a big NFS Datastore (E.g. 1 TB) does make sense to create different VMDK for log files and database for Exchange 2007? The entire data store will run on 10 discs. The performance increase if I separate the VMDK?

  The design of your storage groups is less a review of virtualization and more of your Exchange environment.  How many storage groups, storage group users, etc., may differ according to the specific needs of your organization.  If you need storage for four groups, I put all four on a single VMDK to make things simpler.  Also, I'd create a separate VMDK file for the newspaper that another Envoy said.

  If you need to create separate records for each of them, then you'd have 4 storage groups VMDK and 4 more newspapers.  The complexity of managing that alone would make it worth it.  And even once since he was on the same piece of storage shared with the same number of underlying PIN as your performance will be substantially the same.

• error while configuring nfs for unix or openfiler

  Hello

  I need NFS help set up for the test esx host.  I use openfiler nfs and windows to UNIX servers to install the nfs server, but without success.  I have the following errors. Error in the configuration of the host: NFS error: unable to mount filesystem: unable to connect to NFS server Note: I need to configure something special on the esx service console host?  I have already installed nfs components and mounts.

  Audits:

  I can ping my server nfs, listening on port 2049, enable the firewall client nfs on esx host

  Anyone know where the steps by steps to implement nfs or openfiler for nfs work of a to z.

  Thank you for helping

  You should check your settings of double and proceed again, enable NFSv3 with ESX 3.x is very simple. To install NFS using Windows Services for UNIX, follow these steps:

  On NFS Windows 2003 Server:

  1. download the component on microsoft.com

  2 copy the/etc/passwd and/etc/Group password of ESX 3.x folder c:\etc\ windows host.

  3. install on your windows 2003 server and choose the "custom" option and choose "User mapping Service" and point the to these 2 files in c:\etc\

  4. use Windows to Unix admin console add 'administrator' and 'root' and click 'apply '.

  5 create a share as 'd:\data\sharefolder' and click on the tab 'NFS Sharing' and pass 'read/write' option and allow root access.

  On ESX 3.5 hosts:

  1 turn on the firewall for the NFS client settings

  2 chkconfig nfs and portmap autostart level 235 as mentioned

  3. create the network porgroups as (SC, VMotion, Production, Test, iSCSI, NFS) make sure you use different subnet for NFS/iSCSI traffic.

  4. you can customize your files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to hold account access restrictions. for example (rw, async, no squash root)

  5 restart your NFS daemon.

  Notes:

  Allows you to add storage wizard NFS Client VI-> the server name or IP address (this is your nfs server) and (mount point) such as /sharefolder and give him a "(NFS LUN01) label something like that."

  Check your ID, permissions, and settings, and ping them test information.

  Nothing else I can think of at this point if its does not work. Everyone is welcome to jump in.

  Best luck!
