the upgrade of SAN MD3220i PowerVault

I try to go on the road our PowerVault SAN MD3220i series SSD and documentation for the SAN said that the SSDS only supported are 2.5, 150GBs, SSD SAS 3 Gb/s capacity.
My question is: does this mean I can get a 240GBs 6 Gbps SSD and it will simply be not ready to tackle more 150GBs of storage and it just goes back to a 3Gbs interface speed or actually means that I can literally not an SSD that exceeds 150 GBs and 3Gbs?

Thank you

Hello hyperAdmin,
I don't know what document you look like it might be a bit old but you can add more big SSD drives in the MD3220i.  Here is a link to the support for the MD3220i matrix & if you look at page 11-14 as it lists all supported hard drives.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Following the upgrade to 34.0.5, I can access is no longer our SAN, airco, vSphere customers Web web pages, etc. How can I fix this?

    After upgrade to 34.05, can no longer access the web pages of the SAN, the air conditioning system, vSphere Client Web management interface, etc. All still work in Chrome.

    The air conditioning system gives an error:

       Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 10.32.16.50 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
       Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
    

    The management interface SAN and vSphere customers Web display an empty page. Not sure if they have problems due to SSLv3.

    I understand that you want to be careful, but I seriously doubt that I have to deal with an attack of our SAN. Please, at least give us an option for you connect without worrying.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible so set this preference selectively - with preferences of internal firefox mentioned previously, you can only enable or disable the low globally.

  • I need help for the upgrade of my current system.

    I need help for the upgrade of my current system.

    I have SBS 2008 with (Exch 2007, SQL 2005, Sharepoint, backupexec 2010 for sbs) licenses.

    I want to make the larger environment using the following:

    (1) apply Virtualization

    (2) apply to the failover process (clustering)

    "(3) the environment must support adding server terminal server, ERP server, exchange server, domain controller, backup manager.

    Storage 4) that supports Raid (1 and 5)

    UTM excellent 6) that supports (SSL VPN, VPN Global)

    suitable backup solution 7)

    (8) good antivirus for clients

    my questions:

    (1) can you provide me with a good design for this environment

    (2) should I choose what operating system:

    Microsoft datacenter or company

    I know datacenter provide us the unlimited VM but needs per processor license

    so if I have two Grouped servers I want to buy 4 licenses

    and just 4 VMs per company license... to say that we have two servers and maintain 8 vms so wat happened if 1 goes down... How can I migrate the 4 virtual machines on the server failed to another server group... ? should I buy enterprise license?

    (3) if I get the SAN storage for data... How can I save this storage... should I get another SAN?

    (4) how can I upgrade SBS stad single server (windows standrad) without losing the licenses as Exch 2007, SQL 2005, sharepoint.is it a must to buy an edition full std server or there is a way to upgrade (license wise, I mean)?

    (5) what about win2k8 license for VM:

    lets say we have physical that has windows license so that enough to have windows for VM or should I buy windows for VM licenses?

    (6) can I use backExec license for SBS with windows 2008 standard

    (7) who better to virtualization AMD or INTEL

    (8) hyper V or VMware?

    (9) what of Microsoft data protection Manager... is this good?

  • Cannot install/upgrade to SAN HQ v2.5 - unexpected error.

    I get this error after I tried the upgrade and do a fresh install of SAN HQ v2.5 on my server HQ SAN; but have no problem installing SAN HQ v2.2 installation seems to work very well, and when I try to open the SAN HQ client I get the above error.

    I just built a new server and installed the new v2.5 HQ SAN server, and as soon as it finished installing, I get the same error.

    Server 2008 R2 running.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Crowlaw, you can check if your systems are configured for FIPS compliance?  To check this, the simplest method is to look at this registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy\Enabled

    If this entry is set to 1, then I would recommend that you try to temporarily set it to 0 to see if this allows you to start the Client SANHQ.

  • The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with storage iSCSI software to ESXi 5.5

    I intend to upgrade ESXi 4.1 with which I have attached to ESXi 5.5 iSCSI software storage

    I've updated all my guests who were on the SAN storage with no problems.

    I would like to know that if it there's nothing I should take care before I update the host connected iSCSI to ESXi 5.5, as for the hosts with SAN attached storage I made to remove the cables of SAN before upgrading the host.

    Also, if all known problems, you will be informed during the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 with iSCSI Software storage, please let me know?

    If there is no different process to upgrade coz in ESXi 4.1 I do not see this link ports of iSCSI vmkernel ports software iSCSI but I know in ESXi5.5 we have to or I just launch a procedure of standard upgrade via the Update Manager and everything will be taken care?

    Thanks in advance

    With ESXi prior to version 5, linking ports had to be done via command line. However, if it has been configured correctly, you should be able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (assuming that the host has not been previously updated since version 3). BTW. the last time that I disconnected the host of storage for an upgrade has been with ESX 3.0.

  • Adding more than one host ESX and the upgrade at the same time.  What is the order of preference of the operations here?

    We are budgeting for more licenses and hardware for 2014 and want to do immediately in January.  I am trying to decide what is the best order of operations for adding two vmware hosts additional to our current installation of vsphere and also upgrade our vsphere / esx 4.1 u3 for the latest and best.

    We have 3 Dell PowerEdge R710 running ESX 4.1 U3.  In this vmware cluster, there is a vcenter server 4.1 U3 virtual machine handle this.  The three servers are about 90% memory used so we add 2 additional servers.  Probably the Dell PowerEdge r.620 since we get up 2 in the space of a 710.  Storage is on a san EMC NX4 NFS which will become too but not yet, let's just deal with the vmware part.

    When adding additional r.620 2, should I install ESX 4.1 on them and join them to the existing cluster and THEN pass vcenter and each one esx?  I ask precisely because 90% of use on 3 current servers, I need 2 other servers to support the update operations take place.  They would be able to repel vmotioned vm while each host receives an upgrade at the same time.

    So which is the best way to go about adding of the hosts and the upgrade?  Would I add as 4.1, then they would be available as targets vmotion and so I have room to start the hosts one upgrade at a time?

    If I update vcenter to the latest version, it is comparable backwards and can manage the 4.1 hosts, but also hosts 5.x?  I guess version 5.5 is the last one I would get from VMWare?  It is right of ESXi, then, how is this ESX ESXi 5.5 4.1 upgrade?  How much storage space do I need for ESXi 5.5, as I'm dechatoiement out of these r.620 Dell and need to know what hard drive to put in.

    The steps that you must follow

    -Updated vCenter Server

    -Upgrade of the ESX hosts (because we do a updating of the material we will install 5.5 on our new guests and add them to the cluster and then dismantle our existing)

    -Upgrade VMWare tools

    -Update data warehouses

    ESXi 5.5 has these storage requirements:

    • Installing ESXi 5.5 requires a boot device is at least 1 GB in size. When booting from a local disk or SAN/LUN iSCSI, a 5.2 GB drive is necessary to allow for the creation of the VMFS volume and a scratch 4 GB partition on the boot device. If a smaller drive or logical unit number is used, the installation program attempts to allocate a region scratching on a separate local disk. If a local drive is not found, the scratch partition (/ scratch) is located on the disk virtual ESXi host, linked to the/tmp/scratch. You can reconfigure /scratch to use another drive or logical unit number. For best performance and memory optimization, VMware recommends that you leave no /scratch on the ESXi host ramdisk.
    • To reconfigure / scratch, see Configure the Scratch Partition of vSphere Client vSphere Installation and Installation Guide.
    • Because of the sensitivity of the I/O devices, USB and SD, the installation program does not create a partition scratch on these devices. Therefore, there is no tangible benefits to the use of the great features of USB/SD that ESXi uses only the first 1 GB. When installing on USB or SD, tent Setup devices to allocate a region scratching on a local disk or the data store. If no disk is local or data store, /scratch is placed on the virtual disk. You must reconfigure /scratch to use a persistent data store after the installation.
    • In Auto deploy facilities, Setup attempts to allocate a region scratching on a local disk or the data store. If no local disk or data store is found /scratch is placed on the virtual disk. You must reconfigure /scratch to use a persistent data store after the installation.
    • For environments that start from a San or use Auto Deploy, it is not necessary to assign a separate logical unit number for each ESXi host. You can co-locate areas scrape for several hosts ESXi on a single LUN. The number of hosts assigned to a single LUN must balance the size of the LUN and behavior I/O virtual machines.

    We have identified two questions:

    (2) IBE does not account for the bad markup that leads to incorrect DOM, leaving IBE unusable.

  • The upgrade to ESXi 3.5 Update 2 to update 4

    Hello

    I currently update 2 on a server and was wondering can I go directly to the update 4.

    Or should I first upgraded to update then update 3 to 4?

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forums,

    You can go directly to U4! Keep in mind that when you perform an update via CD, it is advisable to remove the SAN connection before making the upgrade...

  • The upgrade from older version of ESX

    Hello

    I have 3 esx (esx a, b esx esx esx 3.01 c) in a cluster to say Cluster 1 and 2 (esx d and e esx) tell of 3.02 in another cluster, cluster 2. The VC is 2.0.

    Is it possible for me to first switch the VC to 2.5 and go then the esx say 2 weeks later and will be the last VC to manage the existingesx 3.01 and 3.02?

    If I want to perform an inplace upgrade. Am I right to say that I have A ESX ESX B and C ESX vmotion, then stop ESX A. Discconct ESX in SAN, then boot from the CD and it will be automatically upgraded to the new version? This is the way recommended and upgrade?

    If I'm going to maintenance mode, a little curious how can the CD ESX 3.5 can be configured to be bootable fo the upgrade?

    Finally, I have about 80 VM and how do I set the VM in a faster way instead of connection in to each virtual a computer upgrade tools.

    Thank you for your patience

    Thanks Troy, really nice tool, it can even improve Linux VM, but does not restart such the VM (and tools do not start, so manual intervention is necessary, tested on Fedora8 & novel OES2 Suse)

  • Photos for Mac behaves VERY strangely since the upgrade to Sierra

    Hi all.

    I have improved my mid 2010 MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra September 21.

    The first time I launched the Photos app after the upgrade, I got the usual message on photo library updated, but when that reaches 100%, I noticed that he was missing a large number of thumbnails in my library. The photos in question were display in miniature (or 'moments') view as pale gray rectangles with a cloud icon in their breast.

    I don't immediately panic, because I assumed that they would gradually repopulate for a little while. I got "Storage optimize Mac", the value of preferences so all of my original pictures must be in iCloud. I have a Time Capsule, make automatic backups, and I made a backup Time Machine on which, immediately before the upgrade, so I am reasonably confident that I did not really lose my photos, (and all of my pictures and their thumbnails are present & correct on my iPhone).

    But, almost a fortnight after the upgrade, most of my thumb nails is always reported missing since the Photos of Mac application, which makes it very difficult to find pictures of course.

    Last night I noticed that the Photos app showed 'Uploading photos 10 985 nnnnnn' at the foot of the view of the times, with the first digit decreases slowly, so I disabled the options to ensure that my Mac doesn't go to sleep and I let it run until the download was complete energy saving. Then, he showed "updated... "at the foot of the view of the times for a while.

    I was hoping that my thumb nail would be back after that, but they are not!

    It seems that the Photos app is not sync with my iCloud storage, for any reason, or at least if it does not in fact what it has synchronized.

    A double click on these thumbnails blank to open the photo is not consistent either. On some that I try to open, they do not open, and when I return to the thumbnail display the thumbnail is now also. But on others I try to open I just see a completely white area where the photo should be. However (and this is really weird!) when I return to the thumbnail display after those I see very very briefly the photos as they will shrink to the size of the thumbnail, and then they are virgins thumbnails with clouds still...

    I wonder if I should change the preference of Photos of 'optimization of storage' to 'download the originals' in an effort to recover my thumb nails. It seems that I have almost 62 GB of free space on my Mac, and my Gallery of photos shows that there are currently 31GB. Or do I have to re - install the Photos app? (Is it possible?)

    Or is there a better solution to the problem please?

    Thank you for all the helpful tips.
