To better understand the SRM

Hello

We have 2 sites, each site, we have 4 ESX servers and on each site, we have a Clariion CX380 but everything is run by a single Virtual Center. All ESX servers are on the same VC data center. Finally, we have 2 physical sites that we have succeeded in one site.

I know with the MRS, we need two VCs, one on each site, but we need two data centers in VirtualCenter? Why I ask this question is in fact we use MirrorView/S sync LUNS and we have LUN will concern because we cannot display the mirror and lun mirrored with the same uid when all the ESX servers are managed by a single CR.

Can RS we manage this for us?

I hope I'm clear with my problemhttp://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/confused.gif

Thank you

Dominic.

First of all the current version of MRS. can't a single VC use case, so if the customer doesn't move on this one there then you cannout currently using SRM. It has many disadvantages in terms of DR to use a single VC, so reason why SRM architecture uses two.

When you have two SRM of the VC can work active / active and by that I mean you can have two production datacenters each replicating to the other, each acting as DR to another in the event of a site loss. SRM supports this configuration.

From my experience of VMotion between sites with more current VC25/ESX35 never really gives you a lot in terms of use cases since it is really an option for customers which is DC are close together and even in this case you end up with is a virtual machine running on a site that is accessing its virtual disks at the other site not that desirable. Another point here is what to do with this way of working, you should also have areas of SAN that accepts the LUNS are accessible on the sites and also potentially beyond safe limits.

Granted, I can see some obsucre use cases you want to to be able to vmotion VM on the site but nothing which makes it really interesting architecture this now, ok one day you might want to vmotion all around for the other site while you perform a hardware upgrade of hugh, but there are other ways this round with storage vmotion which give you even without interruption... Go ahead there is much more to come that will make vmotion over distance, a closer integration with the most interesting storage replication.

When you're right, now I think that the more important thing to establish is that it really your customer wants, is it simply a solution allowing them to run two production DC so they don't have standing kit slowed to a place? If yes then MRS can do for them now in a configuration active / active. I find lots of customes think they must cross the vmotion site without really thinking through and without thinking about the implications for things like vCenter design, such as:

The VC inventory / layout, be careful with the design, because everything is tense, to be very consistent and accurate with conventions of naming across all objects of inventroy will use the virtual machine

DRS/HA settings, ensure that you know which VM is important and set the correct settings by VM for recovery. Unless you have N + 1 reserve capacity on each site, you will need to set up the parameters HA/DRS that highlight the most important line of the first VM and not end up in a situation of failure with all your virtual computer online dev/test and half the production of 'Down' of the VM because you have not set the correct priorities in HA. In SRM, it is something that the descriptors of recovery plan and you can control.

Half brain, if you run the two sites as a big cluster HA/DRS ensure test you different failure scenarios, for example if the DRS (or manual VMotion) moving a bunch of VM is site1 to site2 but no failures that took place at that time there will now be left with contexts of CPU/memory/network of the virtual computer running on hosts to Site2, but accessing their VMDK on site1. This will work but is not always desirable from a perspective of latency (maybe no problem if enough bandwidth) However, what will happen if you suffer now Site1 disk failure, at this point the VM will not crash immediately Site2 and HA will take awhile to achieve those VMS have a problem. Try it and see, if you disconnect the storage for a virtual machine, the virtual machine will cling to life (assuming that IO is normal) for some time before a blue screen appears.

Presentation of storage, if your customer wants the area sites to actually be 'open' to all ESX hosts, then check that understand you the implications of the ESX LVM parameters with regards instant / will of the disc. You will potentially have ESX hosts that might at one point access to a source and target LUNs at the same time if someone or something to change LVM default settings. As we discussed earlier, with architectures of SRM this is handled by RS as the SRM architecture, you would not have this kind of open area.

Zoning by-law if the vsan / zones are truly open or guests as well then as certain events of fabric can be a potential pain. No event of thugs this RSCN disrupt both sites at the same time if all ESX hosts are on the same fabric open so be careful here. Not something that is too often but I have seen hurt some customers, usually comes down to bad HBA or cable can be a real pain to track down.

VC / limits ESX, you build out of campus cluster design ensures the design will you quickly to reach the limits of what she has supported this concerning things like the maximum number of machines virtual/VC, max number of LUNS/ESX host, max number host ESX/lun/paths etc.

  • Rokie question: better understand the clone process related

    Hello

    I've been assessing the view for awhile, I have a few questions about the big picture behind the view.

    follow-up is my understing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    We will use XP as an example.

    1. I create image main the XP machine using vcenter server.

    2. shut down the computer, create a snapshot.

    3 using the vconnection server, create new linked clone pool with 50 related clones.

    4. the pool will use the snapshot as a base image.

    5. in the creation starts, I can see from the window of the vsphere client, it creates a folder called

    VMwareVewComposerReplicaFolder

    and created a replica.

    Replica-8skdjfh-2343-sdjf-ksjdf-skjdfhsdj02

    6. Once this replica has been correctly created, 50 linked clone created subsequently fairly quickly...

    7. after a few restarts, all 50 XP machine created with success, and vconnection screen shows 'available. '

    8 Note that each of the 50 XP machines will have it's own snapshot created automatically during the process.

    so my understanding is, the basic picture of these 50 machines will be this guy?

    Replica-8skdjfh-2343-sdjf-ksjdf-skjdfhsdj02

    just for the bag of the argument, let's say when all 50 machines are powered, I deleted that line from the file, which

    happen? What happens if I reboot the XP machine, is that he needs this replica file in order to properly

    Start? my understanding for linked clone is all the 50 machines share the same kernel of something, which is why we use

    that it saves a lot of space, etc.

    in other words, for example, if I want to do Windows update for all machines of 50, I boot image master machine XP,.

    finish the Windows Update, stop, create a snapshot2. later I snapshot pickup 2, redial the

    any pool, all 50 machines would receive the same updates of Windows. my understanding is the windows

    updated in fact only applied to the file of the replica, not all the 50 machines individually. Am I wrong?

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think it's very important for the best under the notice.

    All 50 machines will use the file replica and if you were to remove that they would be more work.   If you want to use Windows Update the parent windows update, version ip online, would you stop and create a new snapshot.   Once it was over, you can recompose the pool which would create a new replica with the updated patches.  The workstations that have been laid would be associated with the new replica.

  • Do not understand the point of layout mode...

    I'm afraid it will make me look like an idiot, but... I just don't, so well, I'm missing something.

    Here's my situation: I have two USB MIDI devices connected to my computer, an edrum with 8 pads and a keyboard 25 keys, touch 16 and a bunch of buttons. Both devices allow me to completely configure the MIDI channel, note, the key pads, etc. and so on.

    So, ok, in my APPLICATION I plug just those, create a track for each instrument, I want to play, say each track to listen to a particular channel for a particular instrument, and I'm all set. The keys on the keyboard go to the channel where the synth plugin is listening, keyboard on another channel where a sampler is listening, and keys edrum go to a third channel where Superior Drummer is listening, etc. My edrums me has even let press a button to change between "kits", altering what channel/notes sends each pad, so I can load up, say, multiple instances of Superior Drummer and switch between them on the fly. Large.

    MainStage has much latency better than my DAW, so I'm trying to switch, but after searching around here, and by reading the manual (where the "Connecting MIDI instruments" section is literally just a diagram showing how to connect a MIDI cable and nothing else), I still feel stuck. It seems that I have to start by loading a concert (either drums or keyboards, but not two and no option for a clean slate), then shove a virtual representation of one of my instruments has not been included in the concert I have loaded and then link each individual pad notes not only a unit, not just a channel, but a specific (ditto the high/low notes on the keyboard).

    Why am associating notes with pictures of the pads when the whole point is that the notes are generated by the real thing?

    Why can't just say 'send some signals come from channel 1 device edrum to this plugin', and so on?

    Why am I spent the time to mount images of a keyboard and 24 portions on my screen (surprisingly difficult) when all I care gets ratings generated by a physical device to sounds generated by a plugin?

    Why this strange intermediaries?

    I know that mainstage is very well regarded by people who know more about this kind of things I do, so what I'm missing here? If I use the wrong tool for what I want to do, any suggestions for what I should try instead?

    If I understand the situation, all you really need to do is get rid of any control layout, you don't want, create the MIDI activity 2 monitors (1 for the keyboard, the other the drumpads), assign entries noon then label 2 devices for clarity.

    In edit mode, just do as you describe: assign one controls the activity of MIDI to a particular slice.

  • Which is better: using the NI 9203 or USB Volt to differential entrance map

    Dear all,

    I have 4 pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters 4 with output 0-10 v or 4-20 my. I have also 2 with output 4-20 flow meters my.

    I have two options:

    Is to get all the signals in my and link them to the C two modules NI 9203 or I can get 8 sensors with 0-10 V and then I can use for example NI 6218 where I can connect these signals using differential configuration. While the last two signals (of the two flowmeters) should be converted using components SSC to sell volts so that I can connect them to the same card.

    Which solution is better in regards to signal noise?

    Someone told me that NI 9203 does not support differential configuration, such as the signal of my does not noise like the Volt signal so it does no differential configuration.

    Also, NI 9203 has 0-20 my input range and the output of the sensors is 4-20 my... Is there a problem?

    Please advise...

    Yours,

    Ehab

    Hi Elijah,

    Do you mean that you have the choice between voltage and current transducers and want to know what is the best?

    Current loop 4-20 mA is intrinsically less sensitive to voltage noise.  4-20 my sources have an output impedance much higher that a shunt resistance, so that the vast majority of the noise is deleted in all of the source.  The following application note of the BAPI and our own Developer Zone article both give a good overview of the subject:

    Understand the current loops 4-20 my

    Current measurements: practical Guide

    Regarding the 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, you will have no problem here.  4-20 mA is commonly used for sensors one reasons are that a 0 can be used to indicate a bad connection (open).

    When you take a measure of the tension, the best way to reduce noise is to measure differently, with your connections made with threads of the shielded twisted pair (Wikipedia link).  The idea here is that any atmospheric noise would affect both the + and - ends of your signal.  Since you measure differently, the noise cancel out.

    You will be probably very well in both cases.  If you use the 6218, you can provide your own external shunt resistors to measure the current, while using other channels to measure the voltage. See the article How to build a system of loop current with isolated M series.  It seems to not be updated for the 6218, but this Council provides isolation recommended for current measurement.

    The 9203 s have this integrated to the Board of Directors and are designed specifically to the measurement current.

    Other recommended reading would be field of wiring and considerations of noise for analog signals.  When setting up this system, you will need to make sure that everything is grounded correctly (without ground-loops, floating connections, etc.).

  • Trying to understand the different options of VMware SSO

    Hi guys, I'm trying to understand the different options of SSO and also to get a better idea for best practices to install it. As you all know, there are three options: vCenter Single Sign-on for your first vCenter vCenter Server Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter server into an existing site vCenter Single Sign-On for server vCenter Server further with a new site, I have the following questions: 1. If I saw servers existing vCenter running 5.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 , but I want to remove them and replace them with some vCenters running Windows R2 2012, choose option 1 when you install the new vCenters?  Or, I can choose option 2 and then decommission the previous vCenter Server SSO running at a later date? 2 is the first Single Sign-on server special somehow?  It's like a "Primary" SSO server because it was the first installed?  I have to take special precautions when installing it? 3. Finally, what is the best practice when you install a second vCenter in a recovery site?  I think the most logical method of installing SSO installation vCenter Single Sign-On for server vCenter Server further with a new site in the Dr site existing rather vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.  My thought on that is if the protected site falls down, there should be nothing that links the two sites, so the DR site should have its own SSO Server and this server should be in a new site.  But is that correct?  Can I install using "vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter server into an existing site" without creating dependencies between the two sites? I know there are a lot of articles out there about SSO, but I'm really sure about these specific scenarios yet, any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Duncan.

    Duncan,

    If I read correctly that you want to build a ' soft/new' montage of the Vcenter on 2012 while your existing running in parallel?  If so, the standards body will be independent and you must select option 1 for a new installation. Then, when you get all migrated to new VCenter you old deocmmission.

    As far as DR goes, Yes, it is recommended to have a separate SSO on the secondary site and then you choose option 2 and connect it to the main site.  5.5 U1 will replicate the changes between the 2, but if one goes down you will still be able to operate independently.  I also recommend to check the methods related to a pane of glass.

  • Need help to understand the network of vSphere environment

    Hello

    I need your help in understanding the network environment in vSphere. Please see the diagram and the text below:

    vm.png

    NIC #1 - Management Port (access from client vsphere, vCenter server)

    NIC #2 - Port of VMkernal (for iSCSI, vMotion, etc.)

    NIC #3 -?

    #4 – CARTE NETWORK INTERFACE?

    Q1 how allow external users to access services over the ESX host? (for example, IIS, FTP, Exchange, NFS)

    Q2, what will be the role of the other two network cards? Is it connected to the physical switch?

    * Ask you all to please help me by sharing your knowledge / experience on the network portion, you have made in your environment as NIC how, what to do with that. *

    I really need to understand the networking of concepts in vSphere, hope that your help!


    Best regards: Yash

    With an additional NIC with 2 port a general configuration might look like this:

    vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic1 (connected to different physical switches)

    Network VMkernel management

    VMotion VMkernel network (own IP network, own VLAN)

    Better if they is configured as active / standby.

    vSwitch1 - vmnic2, vmnic3 (connected to different physical switches)

    Trade VM

    vSwitch2 - vmnic4, vmnic5 (connected to different physical switches)

    VMkernel iSCSI (own IP network, own VLAN)

    Ideal if it is added to the component Multipath iSCSI, which is quite easy to vSphere 5.

  • I can't understand the reasoning behind the tables to ID CS5. Can you help me?

    I can make tables ID CS5 works, but I do not understand how they work. I should mention that I am a heavy user of FrameMaker, so I'm sure I have some faulty assumptions.

    In FrameMaker, I'm used to the use of the table styles to automate the formatting of the table. All the table set in the form of information - for example, styles of text for titles table, headers, and body; rules; intercellular. etc. - is built in the style of table and applied with a single click. The text style information drawn from pre-existing paragraph styles that are associated with the table style. All very simple. But in InDesign, things seem much more complicated.

    InDesign a of table and Cell Styles. I'm not clear on the relationship between the two. You can specify to power and styles of shading in both. I don't understand this.

    I got more predictable results, with cell Styles, so I took most of my formatting information. But Cell Styles are not autonomous entities. Even if you create them, then add them to the Style Table, they must be associated with a pre-existing paragraph style. This looks like a duplication of efforts - two distinct styles (cell and paragraph) apply the same text formatting information. The cell Style includes power and info of the shading, but that shouldn't be necessary since that information can theoretically be entered in the Style of the Table.

    In addition, Cell Styles using limits you to the style of a paragraph per cell. In some cases, I need two - data or text, followed by a few chips. When this happens, that I had to remove the cell Style and directly apply a paragraph style. Looks funky.

    I don't want to get too deep into the weeds with specific puzzles I encountered; It is sufficient to say that I do not understand how the table and Cell Styles interact and how best to use them to create and format tables efficiently. Does anyone of you understand the reasoning behind the ID tables? Can you provide a source that explains it? There must be a system, a set of operating principles that are consistent, but I was not able to discern them.

    Sincere thanks,

    -Donna Reynolds

    Hi, Donna.

    I don't know a good reference for how table styles fit together, but I think that your problems would be solved more easily if you gave a specific example of what was confusing you.

    It is true that there is overlap between the table and cell styles. This is because they are modeled on the Table Options and Options of the cell, and there is an overlap. For example, the shot of the table and the outer race of the external cells are the same things.

    Most of the time, you can avoid this confusion - in the Style of your Table, do not define anything except for where you need to replace your cell style information, such as the outside of the table. You cannot set the padding on a style to a table in the table, because you cannot set the padding in the Table Options. Except for the stuff that relates to the entire table, such as the alternation of the contours of row/column.

    So set your fillings in cell styles and use this style in the Style of the Table.

    In your cell styles, do not specify a paragraph style. Use (ignore). It is important that a cell should dictate a particular paragraph style, then use it. But it's probably him better not reach otherwise.
