Two R810s, each with two 8Gb Fiber Channel HBA + MD3620F + MD1220

Hi people.

I am planning an installation on this end, and I'm tender hand in the hope that the community can help me carry this all together.

To explain, I have two servers Dell PowerEdge R810, each with two 8 GB HBA Fibre Channel adapters.

I also have a Bay SAN of Dell PowerVault MD3620F 8 Gbps, with two controllers.

I also have a Dell PowerVault MD1220 DAS SAS Expander Bay.

I think to connects both R810 servers directly to the MD3620F, in order to consume all ports of four CF on the MD3620F. That is, one in each controller, from two HBAs in each server. (I can do this, or do I need a Fibre Channel switch? The MD3620F has 4 available ports, 2 per controller, so it would seem to be a natural configuration for only these two servers)

Then, I will link the MD1220 to the MD3620F, so that its readers are also accessible through the two R810s on the link of Fiber Channel 8 Gbps. (what is the process to connect a MD1220 to a MD3620F?)

Thoughts, tips, suggestions?

Thank you

Hello Wentil,

Here is a link to our deployment guide. FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/common/PowerVault-md3600f_Deployment%20Guide_en-us.PDF . in the deployment guide, we show how you can do an install direct attach & network attached using a fiber switch.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Connected Fiber Channel HBA

    I'm trying to write a script that returns the WWNS of both HBAs connected in all my servers.  My servers have 2 cards 2port, but 1 single port on each card is physically connected.  Is there a way to return only the WWNS of the active ports?  Also, is it possible to see all properties/methods associated with an object?

    I use this script to get the inventory:

    $vCenter = 'vCenter.

    SE connect-ViServer $vCenter

    $hostList = get-VMHost-location data center | name sort

    foreach ($esxHost to $hostList)

    {

    Write-Host $esxHost.Name

    $hbas = get-View (Get-View (Get-VMHost-name $esxHost) USER.USER). ConfigManager.StorageSystem

    foreach ($hba in $hbas. StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter)

    {

    If ($hba.gettype () .name - eq "HostFibreChannelHba")

    {

    $wwn = '{0}': x f $hba. PortWorldWideName

    Write-Host - foregroundcolor green ' t $wwn

    }

    }

    }

    You can use the Status property to check which HBAs is active.

    I also changed the script to use the Get-VMHostHba cmdlet and the new Extensiondata property introduced in PowerCLI 4.1.

    $vCenter = "vCenter"
    
    Connect-ViServer $vCenter
    
    $hostList = Get-VMHost -Location Datacenter | sort name
    
    foreach($esxHost in $hostList)
    {
         Write-Host $esxHost.Name
         $hbas = Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $esxHost
         foreach ($hba in $hbas)
         {
              if ($hba.Type -eq "FibreChannel" -and $hba.Status -eq "Online")
              {
                   $wwn = "{0:x}" -f $hba.Extensiondata.PortWorldWideName
                   Write-Host -foregroundcolor green `t $wwn
              }
         }
    
    }
    

    To see all the properties and methods on a specific object, you can use the Get-Member cmdlet.

    Like this for example

    Get-VMHost | Get-Member

  • combine two daq physical channels in a single task

    Hi all!

    I use a PCI-6120 with a BNC-2120 to generate two signals: one is used to control an optical device which must be characterized, and the other signal is sent to a digital video camera to trigger the acquisition so that it is synchronized with the first signal. Everything is controlled with Labview.

    I want to give the possibility to the user to choose which channel to use for the first signal and channel to use for the second signal, depending on how the devices connected to the BNC-2120. So I would like to put two different "physical channel" screws on the Labview command window.

    My question is:

    What I need to create two different tasks to the signals to be generated on the appropriate channel, or can I combine two channels (and how?) think I handle only a single task to two channels always but do not forget that each signal is generated on the corerct channel, depending on the channel selected for each of the two signals...?

    Thanks a lot for your answers.

    Nice day.

    Luke

    Hi LucG,

    If you use only a single Council to create only a single task for two generations.

    You can choose several channels by clicking on "Restaurants" in the channel control physical choice multiple channels thanks ctr + click, or by concatenating multiple channels with a comma as on arrival at the VI.

    Then, when you provide data to the VI of writing, the data should be organized in a table, each channel is on a line and the order of the channels is the same as in the control of the physical channels.

    I hope this can help!

    Thank you

  • Audio can be separated into two tracks of channel once it is already on the timeline?

    I've recently updated my old first 6.5 to the CS6. I have 4 hours of footage that shows my only audio in the Audio track #1. I do not see each channel separately. I need to change the audio channels separately.

    I just found out that I should have changed an audio setting for each prior clip to add it to the timeline in order to have audio channels display separately.

    Audio can be separated into two tracks of channel once it is already on the timeline? I hope of course. It could be done in the first former before Pro.

    Help, please. I look forward to a response. I'm on a tight schedule.

    I thank in advance anyone who can answer.

  • VSphere storage system and fiber channel

    I am looking to buy a San fiber channel (HP P2000 G3), 2 switch fabric and 2 servers DL380G7.

    I just installed SAN iSCSI so far, so I'm pretty new to Fibre Channel storage.

    I'm looking for white papers on VSphere and the P2000 SAN to ensure that it is correctly installed and optimize!

    Is that all I need to know about configuring HP P2000 and VSPhere?

    Is there a documentation existing on this subject?

    Thank you!

    Well, that's something to ask HP and EMC. Maybe with the next Firmware update of recommendation changes policy.

  • How to locate the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

    Hi all

    Please help on this

    How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

    Concerning

    Vijay

    Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

    In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

  • How can I transcode images with all 4 audio channels of P2?

    I'm in transition from FCP7 to Premiere Pro CS6, and one of the single crash that I meet is transcoding P2 footage and keep all the 4 audio channels separated.  I can't find a way where prelude compresses all 4 channels in 2.  My workflow so far has been to use Final Cut Pro to transcode my images in ProRes with all 4 audio channels and then only put in first to edit.  Needless to say, I don't want to have to keep doing it this way.  Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    You will need to update your Adobe encoder support and Adobe prelude to the latest versions: 6.02. Update of the prelude was disclosed last week, and I believe that the SOUL is also available.

    This issue has been corrected in SOUL 6.02.

    You can update directly from each application via the menu or you can visit the page of each product on adobe.comhttp://adobe.com> and get the updates it.

    I hope this helps.

    When you aggregate several fibers together on G 3508 GBIC, you configure as an etherchannel or fiber channel? I have looked around online for hours, but can not find what it mentioned anywhere.

    Thanks in advance,

    EtherChannel (or link aggregate, or whatever you prefer).

    Fibre channel is a data link protocol used in storage networks and a different protocol for ethernet.

  • vRA: identity device or vSphere SSO when there are multiple vCenters (each with their own SSO) in the environment?

    The installer: We have multiple vCenters each with their own SSO. We must build a minimum install vRA lab 6.1 and used the SSO to the vCenter which is the endpoint lab (and ended up having problems when this vCenter SSO had to be rebuilt and in turn liquid reconstruction vRA). Building on a vRA 6.2 Distributed Lab (based on deployment in the 6.1 reference architecture) to validate our production plan and decided to use the identity.

    Question: For a production buildout there is no reason not to use the device of the identity (scalability, performance, lack of HA)? If you are using vSphere SSO, when there are multiple vCenters one that should be used for SSO of vRA? If that vSphere SSO is never removed (say on the whole things are replaced by a central SSO for all vCenters rather than each on their own, or some issue needs to be rebuilt) is there a clean way to repoint SSO vRA without a reconstruction?

    Post edited by: RebeccaW (removed unrelated to Postgres question)

    What I did in this case is to build a fresh cluster SSO using vCenter SSO and pointing vCAC on this one. It becomes my main source of SSO and I slowly vCenters point and other components to it overtime. You usually put vCAC SSO signed certificates and generally I find people vCenter SSO deployment in this way. To remedy this trying to modify an existing SSO vCenters and risk having to reinstall your VC because you missed the CERT, simply create a new. This also alleviates a changing overtime vCenter and spoil the vCAC SSO. The unit of identity cannot be clustered or joining existing areas of SSO. So if you are looking for HA and scale which probably does not cut it.

  • PMC Fiber Channel card (IBM server)

    I recently installed ESXi 5.5 on an IBM server. The server had a pre-existing HBA FIbre Channel 8 Gbps 4 port card. I'm looking for the correct drivers so that he can work with ESXi.

    It is the chipset of the map: http://pmcs.com/products/storage/fibre_channel_controllers/pm8032/

    Unfortunately I can't find no drivers of PMC or IBM, not only for ESXi but for anything. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    The driver that you have listed is not a SAS card a Fibre Channel HBA.

    However, I just got a reply from support VMware and they said that this driver might work:

    VMware ESXi 5.5 adp80xx driver Adaptec of PMC

    https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI55-PMC-ADP80XX-11010475&ProductID=353#product_downloads

    I have not tried yet, I have already installed an elderly low performing Emulex HBA, but as soon as I get some time I'll try the driver.
