Storage of large Volumes... Whats my options.

Hello

OK, so my installation is an HP C7000 Enclosure of blade with 8 BL460 connected via two SAS controllers 3 HP msa2000sas storage matrices each with 12 1 TB disks mounted.

We have been invited to create a couple of volumes 8TB for use as a file on a file server shares (Windows server 2008 under vmware esx 4). The problem comes because I have a backup server on the network aswell (Windows server 2008 not under vmware) which has a direct connection to a SAS storage arrays, and the intention is that this server will also have access to significant volumes so it can generate data on live band of the storage array, instead of drag anywhere in the network of the file server.

For now, I created a TB 8 VDisk and he filled one Volume 8 of TB and presented as a single LUN.

If the file server has not been installed under VMWare I guess the 8TB LUN would have appeared to Windows Server 2008 without problems I could format as a single NTFS partition I'm going and it seems to me also the backup server as a 8 TB NTFS volume.

My file server sits under VMWare ESX 4 as expected, he sees not the LUN 8TB.

so. Whats my options.

Create volumes of 8x1TB set in the vdisk 8TB and present them as 8xRDMs for Windows. If I use Windows to together in a dynamic volume 8TB stripe, running outside vmware backup server won't have much sense of these is it? (or is it?)

Outside to my server to backup under VMWare and then using extensions to create disc vmware vmfs 8TB off 8x1TB LUN that would be visible to two independent vmware on separate ESX hosts machines, I don't see what I can do.

Are there ways to get around this limit of 2 TB. It seems crazy that we are limited to 2 TB these days. His will not be too long before you have individual drives that are already too big for vmware.

You have a hard line to hoe here.  I think I can come 2 solutions for you, but I don't know that or the other will work.  First of all, there is no way around the 2 TB limit currently imposed in VMware, as has been said.  So, how do we pretend?

(1) I would recommend covering rather than the distribution on the disk that you create in Windows.  This is expected to allow it to be presented to another system, but I have not tested it myself.  I think that you need to make a 'dynamic' record to do, using GPT instead of MBR.

(2) NTFS is NOT a cluster file system.  You cannot present a volume of 2 systems of access R/W at the same time without making these systems in a cluster.  The best idea here is to use a base on the MSA SAN snapshot (I think they just licensed to support).  Otherwise, you're stuck with the backup in network for RDM.

(2A) If you use VMDK VMFS to your drives, then you can always make backups based on the snapshot direct drive with VCB or an another VMFS - / VMDK oriented tool.  In this case, you won't have the overhead of storing the snapshot by itself, but should always be considered Colocation the VMDK snapshot on your system VMFS file.  In this case, I would start by 5 2 TB LUN with VMDK 1.6 to each.  I think that this would provide a sufficient margin for discs of snapshots, but you must take into account your environment on this setting.

Virtualization of happy!

  • Large volume of archives

    Hi all

    I am facing in a high volume of archives problem these days on my production database. Database version is 9.0.2.4.0 and it is the system operarting of windows 2003 server (enterprise edition service pack 1). I want to solve this problem. I won't put my DB in noarchivelog mode, as is the production system. I did not go to any major changes in my DB. What could be the cause of this high volume of check-in? What should I do to reduce archiving. The size of the files of archive is almost 12 GB a day. After 2 days I move archives of production to another machine.
    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Best regards
    Asma Akhter.

    It is very unlikely that archive generation is related to the undo tablespace. Your statspack said indicated audit large volumes.

    I suggest that disable you the check, take more statspack snapshots, check if archive generation drops, and run another statspack report to confirm.

  • Large Volume of data merge issues with Indesign CS5

    I recently started to use Indesign CS5 to design a piece of mail marketing which requires the fusion of data from Microsoft Excel.  With small spots up to 100 pieces, I don't have any problems.  However, I need to merge 2 000-5 000 items of data through Indesign on a daily basis and my lap top current was not able to manage the merger of more than 250 pieces at a time, and the merge process 250 takes 30-45 minutes if I have the chance and the software not crushed.

    To resolve this problem, I bought a desktop computer with a second generation processor Core i7 and 8 GB of memerory, thinking that would solve my problem.  I tried to merge the track 1,000 of data with this new computer, and I was forced to restart Adobe Indesign after 45 minutes of no results.  I then merged 500 pieces and the task was completed, but the process took less than 30 minutes.

    I need help with this problem because I can't find another software which can design my mail merge the way that Indesign can, however, the time it takes to merge large volumes of data is very frustrating because the software crash from time to time the after waiting a good 30-45 minutes to complete.

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    It's in the menu data merge, 'Export to PDF '.

  • Issue warning of large Volume

    As you have perhaps lived, climb too high the volume of your iPod translates into a bet warned that the volume is too high.

    It's particularly embarrassing because it drains my battery while listening to music, and I understand if you live in the United States, you do not have this warning of volume.

    Now, I know what you think. You cannot disable this option because it is a law of the EU. But I live in the United Kingdom, who has just chosen to leave the European Union...

    Does this mean that warnings of volume disappears at some point in the future, now that we can put our own laws etc. ?

    I doubt it since "features" like the one linked to an identifier if the iPod firmware.

    Since you have a 5G and only 6 G gets iOS 10 then the changes are slim to one that Apple will release an update to iOS, even if they could to differentiate an iPod initially marketed in UK vice to the other EU countries.

  • Volume display shows options for the speakers and headphones

    Whenever I click on the window of the volume in the corner, it shows two sliders, one for my speakers and one for my helmet. This wouldn't be a problem if my headset work now. I plugged them (brand new, by the way) and his memory to come through the speakers. I went through the troubleshooting, searched this forum very and discovered that my headphones are the communications device by default and not to the default device. I've been trying to put my headphones by default, but it wouldn't let me, doing nothing when I clicked "Set as default". I tried to turn off my speakers, which almost worked if it wasn't the fact that now almost all the sound elements was not present at all.

    If someone could tell me how to solve this problem, or what I am doing wrong, please do so as soon as possible.

  • Best practice? Storage of large data sets.

    Thank you, hhessel

    These debates come from time to time. The big question is how normally geet she on the phone after

    someone asks why BB does not support databases. It is there no magic here - it depends on what you do with

    the data. Regarding the General considerations, see j2me on sun.com or jvm issues more generally. We are all

    should get a reference of material BB too LOL...

    If you really have a lot of data, there are libraries of zip and I often use my own patterns of "compression".

    I personally go with simple types in the store persistent and built my own b-tree indexing system

    which is also j2se virtue persistable and even testable. For strings, we'll store me repeated prefixes

    that only once even though I finally gave up their storage as only Aspire. So if I have hundreds of channels that start "http://www.pinkcat-REC".

    I don't store this time. Before you think of overload by chaining these, who gets picked up

    the indexes that you use to find the channel anyway (so of course you have to time to concatenate pieces)

    back together, but the index needs particular airspace is low).

  • Default VSAN (TTF = 1) storage strategy: large disks get stripped?

    What I discovered while ivestigating a resynchronization VSAN problems, is that two virtual machines have vdisks that are divided into multiple objects.

    It is strange that there are RAID1, RAID0, RAID1 with the default policy objects, as seen in the attached screenshot.

    I guess that is somehow linked to the size of the vdisks. I also checked that wihth another installation of VSANS, it sound the same.
