Trunking VLAN directly from ESXi in SAN servers

Hi all

I think that I made a mistake in choosing to go down this path, see the details of the deployment:

the installation of the failover network limited bandwidth to a single link (failover) instead of 2 Gbps, which can improve performance.  as the solution of trunking VLAN, however out of despair and the stress very load high,.

I was thinking of redesigning the network all over again from scratch, using the trunking VLAN directly from Server ESXi in SAN to use 2 x 1 GB Ethernet

cable to enhance the delivery of data to the VM without the use of any

switch between SAN and servers.

What is a possible solution using 2 x ESXi and iSCSI MD3000i SAN?

Kind regards

AWT

Since the SAN has only had 2 NIC by controller,
+ so I guess I can provide only 2 Gbps maximum for the ESXi server +.
+ each using trunking VLAN and leave the rest unused switch ports used by the other server. +

MD3000i does not aggregate links (like Equallogic, for example), but works with MPIO.

MPIO ESX is NOT able to aggregate links, but he is able to use the different path for different LUN.

So the solution is simple build at least 2 LUNS, and working with different path (the path is normally automatically selected by ESX)

  • Storage vMotion-Direct between ESXi hosts

    Hi all

    It is my first time on the boards, I hope it's the right way to go on this subject.

    I have problems with Storage vMotion, it's not a set up us would use normally, rather than by necessity with the current scenario.

    We have a desktop which has 2 x 5.1 ESXi hosts. They do not have a budget for SAN with the installation of HBA, and it is only a single requirement. I have to migrate virtual machines from one to the other, but with no external storage. I wait with Storage vMotion directly from a local data store to another.

    I activated the software iSCSI on both ESXi hosts

    Created a vSwitch separated with a VMkernal on two physical hosts

    The two VMkernals are on a separate subnet * 172.16.1 and production vSwitch is 192.168.5. *.

    The NIC allocated for the 172.16.1 network. * is both connected to the same physical switch.

    I ping the VMkernal and the vmkping the VMkernal

    Scan for storage again and nothing shows up.

    I used software iSCSI before, for a long time so I'm probably rusty. Dynamic discovery is normally indicated in the SAN to pick up storage, and finds it just local storage on each host itself.

    In this scenario, I told the IP address of the ESX2 VMkernal on 172.16.1 ESX1. * since I have no external storage. I think it is, I'm wrong, but I don't know what else to do to recover local data warehouses.

    Any ideas to try would be very appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Trunk Vlan 1 on switch Dell 3524

    Hi all...

    Need help please!

    I want to configure the VLAN 1 on dell 3524 because VLAN 1 has IP DHCP from the Mikrotik,

    the default VLAN 1 trunk mode configuration?

    Thanks :)

    By default, VLAN 1 is the VLAN native to an interface configured in mode switchport Trunk/general. If you want 1 VLAN tag, you need to change the VLAN native to something other than 1 and then tag VLAN 1.

    Example:

    Console (config) # interface ethernet 1/e16

    Console switchport mode trunk #.

    Console # switchport trunk vlan 99 native

    Switchport trunk console # permit vlan add 1

    You can also use the general mode.

    Example:

    Console (config) # interface ethernet 1/e16

    Mode console # switchport general

    Console # pvid general switchport 99

    Console # switchport General allowed vlan add 1 tag

  • a few questions about ESXi and SAN CF with HP P2000 G3

    Hello everyone!

    I am new to ESXi and SAN, then I need help for her.

    I have Encolosure C7000 system with 4 blades BL460c already installed ESXi 5.1U1 (HP custome ISO image). Everything works fine now, but I do not understand something:

    -What is the management network which I use vSphare Client to connect to? It is a private network to manage ESXi servers what difference with VMnetwork used by Virtual Machines? Because I've set up an IP address for this connection manually, but it is of course separate with IP addresses, I used on Virtual Machines.

    -If my system has problem, so I have to reinstall ESXi, license keys can be used again? Already, I have 8 license key for 4 blades (2 CPUs per server), but they have not yet used. Because I am new to ESXi, cause I had to reinstall ESXi several times to understand.

    -When I install successful ESXi, I don't know how to start working with SAN. What should I configure P2000 before it be plugged into the SAN switch? Or I can plug it then config later? Because I don't see it on the ESXi server. And on the OS I installed on the Guest Virtual Machines, I see nothing new in Device Manager. I thought that this guest operating system will detect the mezzanine card. But I see only mezzanine card that connect to the P2000 by SAN switch in ESXi (see image here http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/684/dsc04088k.jpg ). To my knowledge, I think that ESXi server have to detect the P2000 as hardware device. Can someone teach me step by step install and configure a San on ESXi? Or show me a tutorial because I searched but only iSCSI results.

    My devices:

Because I've set up an IP address for this connection manually, but it is of course separate with IP addresses, I used on Virtual Machines.

    Yes, it's a separate network used only for traffic management between ESXi hosts and vCenter - it is also the network used to connect to the environment - that's different, then the network used by your virtual machines

    -If my system has problem, so I have to reinstall ESXi, license keys can be used again? Already, I have 8 license key for 4 blades (2 CPUs per server), but they have not yet used. Because I am new to ESXi, cause I had to reinstall ESXi several times to understand.

    Yes the license keys can be reused, and if you use vCenter licenses will be managed by vCenter

    Yes, you will be able to configure the San later - by default, the virtual machine will not see the SAn, as it is virtualized by your ESXi host - all the VM will see is a virtual SCSi disk - this doc's guide to vmware for storage - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-511-storage-guide.pdf - you can visit the website of HP they might have documentation on configuring P2000 for vSphere -.

  • My iPhone will not send photos or other documents directly from in Apps

    My iPhone 5 has always been able to send photos directly from the Photo App, as well as sending PDF files directly from the Pages App or other documents from other applications. Now, it is no more the case. After hitting the "send" - button, you hear the his "Whoosh"but nothing is actually sent! ".

    I discovered only after people complained to me for not getting points I thought that I had sent.

    When you import the same documents in Mail, there is no problem at all they are sent. The problem exists only IN applications.

    I tried to restart the phone several times as well as resetting - no change.

    It isn't a question of 2 check points.

    I would be very grateful if someone knew the solution to this problem.

    See you soon!

    I think the next thing I would try is to reset all settings. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings. This will return t e the device settings, to where they were out of the box - to the factory settings. You will need to enter all the settings again including WiFi passwords.

    If this does not work, back up, restore settings, and then restore the backup. If it still does not work, restore like new.

  • Print directly from iPhone without internet via special Wi - Fi?

    Hello world.

    I want to print labels for shipping directly from the iPhone.

    I guess I need printer active AirPrint.

    My question is: did someone knows such printer which will also save me the need to buy a router wireless (Wi - Fi) because the printer itself creates ad-hoc or a direct wireless connection?

    Thank you very much!

    Canon offers a selection of printers that have this feature, their page can be found here. (Sorry, I live in Southeast Asia) They offer the AirPrint and functionality you described, which is not AirPrint. Personally, I use the MG7170 model.

    As far as I KNOW, Microsoft is not an add-on for Firefox can be opened from Excel in Firefox. It may or may not work properly depending on whether this Web site uses a MIME type for files it delivers.

    Another way to handle that would be via Open Office or free agency; both are open source (free) that allows to display files XLS (Excel) , and both programs have a Mozilla browser plugin to allow Firefox to open the 'Calc' of these programs.
